Deuteronomy 28:49-58
49 aThe Lord will bring a nation against you from far away, from the end of the earth, bswooping down like the eagle, a nation cwhose language you do not understand, 50a hard-faced nation dwho shall not respect the old or show mercy to the young. 51It shall eeat the offspring of your cattle and the fruit of your ground, until you are destroyed; it also shall not leave you grain, wine, or oil, the increase of your herds or the young of your flock, until they have caused you to perish.52“They shall fbesiege you in all your towns, until your high and fortified walls, in which you trusted, come down throughout all your land. And they shall besiege you in all your towns throughout all your land, which the Lord your God has given you. 53And gyou shall eat the fruit of your womb, the flesh of your sons and daughters, whom the Lord your God has given you, hin the siege and in the distress with which your enemies shall distress you. 54The man who is the most tender and refined among you will ibegrudge food to his brother, to jthe wife he embraces, ▼
▼Hebrew the wife of his bosom
and to the last of the children whom he has left, 55so that he will not give to any of them any of the flesh of his children whom he is eating, because he has nothing else left, lin the siege and in the distress with which your enemy shall distress you in all your towns. 56 mThe most tender and refined woman among you, who would not venture to set the sole of her foot on the ground because she is so delicate and tender, will begrudge to the husband she embraces, ▼▼Hebrew the husband of her bosom
to her son and to her daughter, 57her afterbirth that comes out from between her feet and her children whom she bears, because lacking everything she will eat them secretly, oin the siege and in the distress with which your enemy shall distress you in your towns. 58“If you are not careful to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that you may fear this glorious and awesome name, pthe Lord your God,

How often would I have aggathered ahyour children together aias a hen gathers her brood ajunder her wings, and akyou were not willing! 38See, alyour house is left to you desolate. 39For I tell you, you will not see me again, until you say, am‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’”Luke 21:20-24
Jesus Foretells Destruction of Jerusalem
20“But anwhen you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that aoits desolation has come near. 21Then 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, 22for these are apdays of aqvengeance, to fulfill arall that is written. 23 asAlas 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 atwrath against this people. 24They will fall by the edge of the sword and aube led captive among all nations, and avJerusalem will be trampled underfoot by the Gentiles, awuntil the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
