- Jerusalem:
- "Then will I cut offª°¹ Israelª out² of¹¹¹ the landª which¹ I have givenª° them; and this house,ª which¹ I have hallowedª° for my name,ª will I cast¹ out²° of¹¹ my sight;ª and Israelª shall be¹ a proverbª and a bywordª among all¹ people:ª ... And they shall answer,ª° Because¹¹ they forsookª°¹ the LORDª their God,ª who¹ brought forthª°¹ their fathersª out of the landª¹ of Egypt,ª and have taken holdª° upon otherª gods,ª and have worshippedª° them, and servedª° them: therefore¹¹ hath the LORDª broughtª° upon¹ them¹ all¹ this¹ evil.ª" {1Kg 9:7-9} + "Blessedª° [be] the LORDª Godª of Israelª from everlasting,ª¹ and to¹ everlasting.ª Amen,ª and Amen.ª" {Psa 41:13} + "We are become¹ a reproachª to our neighbours,ª a scornª and derisionª to them that are round aboutª us." {Psa 79:4} + "Be not wrothª°¹ very sore,ª¹ O LORD,ª neither¹ rememberª° iniquityª for ever:ª behold,¹ see,ª° we beseech thee,¹ we [are] all¹ thy people.ª ... Our holyª and our beautifulª house,ª where¹ our fathersª praisedª° thee, is¹ burned upª with fire:ª and all¹ our pleasant thingsª are¹ laid waste.ª" {Isa 64:9-11} + "And I will deliverª° them to be removedª°² into all¹ the kingdomsª of the earthª for [their] hurt,ª [to be] a reproachª and a proverb,ª a tauntª and a curse,ª in all¹ placesª whither¹¹ I shall driveª° them." {Jer 24:9} + "And I will persecuteª°¹ them² with the sword,ª with the famine,ª and with the pestilence,ª and will deliverª° them to be removedª°² to all¹ the kingdomsª of the earth,ª to be a curse,ª and an astonishment,ª and an hissing,ª and a reproach,ª among all¹ the nationsª whither¹¹ I have drivenª° them:" {Jer 29:18} + "Jerusalemª hath grievously² sinned;ª°¹ therefore¹¹ she is¹ removed:ª all¹ that honouredª° her despise²°¹ her, because¹ they have seenª° her nakedness:ª yea,¹ she¹ sigheth,ª° and turnethª° backward.ª ... Her filthinessª [is] in her skirts;ª she rememberethª° not¹ her last end;ª therefore she came downª° wonderfully:ª she had no¹ comforter.ª° O LORD,ª beholdª°¹ my affliction:ª for¹ the enemyª° hath magnifiedª° [himself]." {Lam 1:8-9} + "All¹ that pass²° by¹¹ clapª° [their] handsª at¹ thee;² they hissª° and wagª° their headª at¹ the daughterª of Jerusalem,ª [saying, Is] this¹ the cityª that [men] callª°¹ The perfectionª of beauty,ª The joyª of the whole¹ earth?ª ... All¹ thine enemiesª° have openedª° their mouthª against¹ thee: they hissª° and gnashª° the teeth:ª they say,ª° We have swallowed [her] up:ª° certainlyª this¹ [is] the dayª that we looked for;ª°¹ we have found,ª° we have seenª° [it]." {Lam 2:15-16}
