- this city:
- "Shall I not¹ visitª° for¹ these¹ [things]? saithª° the LORD:ª and¹ shall not¹ my soulª be avengedª° on such¹ a nationª as this?¹ ... For¹ the houseª of Israelª and the houseª of Judahª have dealt very²° treacherouslyª° against me, saithª° the LORD.ª" {Jer 5:9-11} + "For¹ thus¹ hath the LORDª of hostsª said,ª° Hew ye downª° trees,ª and castª° a mountª against¹ Jerusalem:ª this¹ [is] the cityª to be visited;ª° she [is] wholly¹ oppressionª in the midstª of her. ... As a fountainª casteth outª° her waters,ª so¹ she casteth¹ out²° her wickedness:ª violenceª and spoilª is heardª° in her; before¹¹ me² continuallyª [is] griefª and wounds.ª" {Jer 6:6-7} + "I have seenª° also in the prophetsª of Jerusalemª an horrible thing:ª they commit adultery,ª° and walkª° in lies:ª they strengthenª° also the handsª of evildoers,ª° that noneª¹ doth returnª° from his wickedness:ª¹ they are¹ all¹ of them unto me as Sodom,ª and the inhabitantsª° thereof as Gomorrah.ª ... Therefore¹ thus¹ saithª° the LORDª of hostsª concerning¹ the prophets;ª Behold,¹ I will feedª° them with wormwood,ª and make them drinkª° the waterª of gall:ª for¹ from¹¹ the prophetsª of Jerusalemª is profanenessª gone forthª° into all¹ the land.ª" {Jer 23:14-15} + "Then¹ did Solomonª buildª° an high placeª for Chemosh,ª the abominationª of Moab,ª in the hillª that¹ [is] beforeª¹ Jerusalem,ª and for Molech,ª the abominationª of the childrenª of Ammon.ª ... And likewise¹ didª° he for all¹ his strangeª wives,ª which burnt incenseª° and sacrificedª° unto their gods.ª" {1Kg 11:7-8} + "And he builtª° altarsª in the houseª of the LORD,ª of which¹ the LORDª said,ª° In Jerusalemª will I putª°¹ my name.ª ... And he setª°¹ a graven imageª of the groveª that¹ he had madeª° in the house,ª of which¹ the LORDª saidª° to¹ David,ª and to¹ Solomonª his son,ª In this¹ house,ª and in Jerusalem,ª which¹ I have chosenª° out of all¹¹ tribesª of Israel,ª will I putª°¹ my nameª for ever:ª" {2Kg 21:4-7} + "Moreover¹ Manassehª shedª° innocentª bloodª veryª much,ª° till¹¹ he had filledª°¹ Jerusalemª from one endª to another;ª beside his sinª¹¹ wherewith¹ he made Judah² to sin,ª°¹¹ in doingª° [that which was] evilª in the sightª of the LORD.ª" {2Kg 21:16} + "Thus¹ saithª° the LORD,ª Behold,¹ I will bringª° evilª upon¹ this¹ place,ª and upon¹ the inhabitantsª° thereof, [even]¹ all¹ the wordsª of the bookª which¹ the kingª of Judahª hath read:ª° ... Because¹¹ they have forsakenª° me, and have burned incenseª° unto otherª gods,ª that¹ they might provoke me to angerª° with all¹ the worksª of their hands;ª therefore my wrathª shall be kindledª° against this¹ place,ª and shall not¹ be quenched.ª°" {2Kg 22:16-17} + "Moreover¹¹ the altarª that¹ [was] at Bethel,ª [and] the high placeª which¹ Jeroboamª the sonª of Nebat,ª who¹ made¹ Israelª to sin,ª° had made,ª° both¹¹ that¹ altarª and the high placeª he brake down,ª° and burnedª°¹ the high place,ª [and] stamped²° [it] small¹ to powder,ª and burnedª° the grove.ª" {2Kg 23:15} + "Now, thou¹ sonª of man,ª wilt thou judge,ª° wilt thou judgeª°¹ the bloodyª city?ª yea, thou shalt shewª° her¹ all¹ her abominations.ª ... As silverª is meltedª in the midstª of the furnace,ª so¹ shall ye be meltedª° in the midstª thereof; and ye shall knowª° that¹ I¹ the LORDª have poured outª° my furyª upon¹ you." {Ezk 22:2-22} + "O Jerusalem,ª Jerusalem,ª [thou] that killestª° the¹ prophets,ª andª stonestª° them which are sentª° untoª thee,ª how oftenª would¹ I²° have gathered²° thy²² children² together,ª°¹¹ even asª¹ a henª gatherethª° herª chickensª underª [her] wings,ª andª ye wouldª° not!ª" {Mtt 23:37} + "Neverthelessª Iª mustª° walkª° to day,ª andª to morrow,ª andª the¹ [day] following:ª° forª it cannot beªª° that a prophetª perishª° out¹ of² Jerusalem.ª ... O Jerusalem,ª Jerusalem,ª which² killestª° the¹ prophets,ª andª stonestª° them that are sentª° untoª thee;ª how oftenª wouldª° I have gathered²° thy² children² together,ª°¹¹ asªª a henª [doth gather] herª broodª underª [her] wings,ª andª ye wouldª° not!ª" {Lke 13:33-34}
