- The destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans, and the condition of the Jews during almost eighteen centuries, have far more exceeded all the miseries of the capture of Jerusalem by the Chaldeans, and in the Babylonish captivity, than those miseries exceeded the judgments inflicted on other nations; for the guilt of crucifying the Messiah, and rejecting his gospel, was immensely more atrocious than all their other transgressions. "[Is it] nothing¹ to¹ you, all¹ ye that pass²° by?ª¹ behold,ª° and seeª° if¹ there beª any sorrowª like unto my sorrow,ª which¹ is doneª° unto me, wherewith¹ the LORDª hath afflictedª° [me] in the dayª of his fierceª anger.ª" {Lam 1:12} + "What thing¹ shall I take to witnessª°°° for thee? what thingª shall I likenª° to thee, O daughterª of Jerusalem?ª what¹ shall I equalª° to thee, that I may comfortª° thee, O virginª daughterª of Zion?ª for¹ thy breachª [is] greatª like the sea:ª who¹ can healª° thee?" {Lam 2:13} + "For the punishment of the iniquityª of the daughterª of my peopleª is greaterª° than the punishment² of the sin¹¹ of Sodom,ª that was overthrownª° as in¹ a moment,ª and no¹ handsª stayedª° on her." {Lam 4:6} + "And I will doª° in thee¹ that which¹ I have not¹ done,ª° and whereunto¹ I will not¹ doª° any more¹ the like,¹ because² of¹ all¹ thine abominations.ª" {Ezk 5:9} + "A dayª of darknessª and of gloominess,ª a dayª of cloudsª and of thick darkness,ª as the morningª spreadª° upon¹ the mountains:ª a greatª peopleª and a strong;ª there hath not¹ beenª° everª¹ the like,¹ neither¹ shall be any moreª° afterª it, [even] to¹ the yearsª of many² generations.ª" {Jol 2:2} + "You only¹ have I knownª° of all¹¹ the familiesª of the earth:ª therefore¹¹ I will punishª°¹ you¹ for all¹ your iniquities.ª" {Ams 3:2} + "Forª thenª shall beª° greatª tribulation,ª such asª wasª° notª sinceª the beginningª of the worldª to¹ this² time,ª no,ª nor everª shall be.ª°" {Mtt 24:21} + "Forª [in] thoseª daysª shall beª° affliction,ª such² asª wasª° notª¹ fromª the beginningª of the creationª whichª Godª createdª° untoª this time,ª¹ neitherª² shall be.ª°" {Mrk 13:19} + "Forª theseª beª° the daysª of vengeance,ª that all thingsª which² are writtenª° may be fulfilled.ª°" {Lke 21:22}
