1 ^aAnd in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, ^bNebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came with all his army against Jerusalem and laid siege to it. ^cAnd they built siegeworks all around it. 2 So the city was besieged till the eleventh year of King Zedekiah. 3 On the ninth day of the fourth month ^dthe famine was so severe in the city that there was no food for the people of the land. 4 Then a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, by ^ethe king’s garden, and ^fthe Chaldeans were around the city. And they went in the direction of the ^gArabah.

like a lodge in a cucumber field,
like a besieged city.

3 ^lShepherds with their flocks shall come against her;
^mthey shall pitch their tents around her;
they shall pasture, each in his place.

And ^rthey will not leave one stone upon another in you, because you did not know ^sthe time of your ^tvisitation.”

Luke 21:20-24

Jesus Foretells Destruction of Jerusalem

20 “But ^uwhen you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that ^vits desolation has come near. 21 Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, and let those who are inside the city depart, and let not those who are out in the country enter it, 22 for these are ^wdays of ^xvengeance, to fulfill ^yall that is written. 23 ^zAlas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days! For there will be great distress upon the earth and ^aawrath against this people. 24 They will fall by the edge of the sword and ^abbe led captive among all nations, and ^acJerusalem will be trampled underfoot by the Gentiles, ^aduntil the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
