- "The wordª of the LORDª came¹ again unto¹ me, saying,ª° ... As thou didst rejoiceª at the inheritanceª of the houseª of Israel,ª because¹¹ it was desolate,ª° so¹ will I doª° unto thee: thou shalt be¹ desolate,ª O mountª Seir,ª and all¹ Idumea,ª [even] all¹ of it: and they shall knowª° that¹ I¹ [am] the LORD.ª" {Ezk 25:1-35:15} + "Behold,¹ I will sendª° and takeª°¹ all¹ the familiesª of the north,ª saithª° the LORD,ª and Nebuchadrezzarª the kingª of Babylon,ª my servant,ª and will bringª° them against¹ this¹ land,ª and against¹ the inhabitantsª° thereof, and against¹ all¹ these¹ nationsª round about,ª and will utterly destroyª° them, and makeª° them an astonishment,ª and an hissing,ª and perpetualª desolations.ª" {Jer 25:9} + "For¹ thus¹ saithª° the LORDª Godª of Israelª unto¹ me; Takeª°¹ the wineª cupª of this¹ furyª at my hand,ª¹ and cause¹ all¹ the nations,ª to whom¹¹ I¹ sendª° thee, to drinkª° it. ... For,¹ lo,¹ I¹ beginª° to bring evilª° on the cityª which¹ is calledª° by¹ my name,ª and should ye¹ be utterly²° unpunished?ª° Ye shall not¹ be unpunished:ª° for¹ I¹ will call²° for¹ a swordª upon¹ all¹ the inhabitantsª° of the earth,ª saithª° the LORDª of hosts.ª" {Jer 25:15-29} + "The wordª of the LORDª that¹ came¹ to¹ Jeremiahª the prophetª against¹ the Philistines,ª before¹ that Pharaohª smoteª°¹ Gaza.ª ... And thou shalt say,ª° Thus¹ shall Babylonª sink,ª° and shall not¹ riseª° fromª¹ the evilª that¹ I¹ will bringª° upon¹ her: and they shall be weary.ª° Thus¹ far¹ [are] the wordsª of Jeremiah.ª" {Jer 47:1-51:64} + "The wordsª of Amos,ª who¹ was¹ among the herdmenª of Tekoa,ª¹ which¹ he sawª° concerning¹ Israelª in the daysª of Uzziahª kingª of Judah,ª and in the daysª of Jeroboamª the sonª of Joashª kingª of Israel,ª two yearsª beforeª the earthquake.ª ... And their kingª shall goª° into captivity,ª he¹ and his princesª together,ª saithª° the LORD.ª" {Ams 1:1-15} + "Gather yourselves together,ª° yea, gather together,ª° O nationª not¹ desired;ª° ... This¹ [is] the rejoicingª cityª that dweltª° carelessly,ª that saidª° in her heart,ª I¹ [am], and [there is] none¹ beside²¹ me: how¹ is she become¹ a desolation,ª a place for beastsª to lie down¹ in!² every one¹ that passeth¹ by²°¹ her shall hiss,ª° [and] wagª° his hand.ª" {Zph 2:1-15}
