Deuteronomy 28:51-57

51 It shall ^aeat 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 ^bbesiege 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. 53 And ^cyou shall eat the fruit of your womb, the flesh of your sons and daughters, whom the Lord your God has given you, ^din the siege and in the distress with which your enemies shall distress you. 54 The man who is the most tender and refined among you will ^ebegrudge food to his brother, to ^fthe wife he embraces, ^{▼▼Hebrew the wife of his bosom} and to the last of the children whom he has left, 55 so 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, ^hin the siege and in the distress with which your enemy shall distress you in all your towns. 56 ⁱThe 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, 57 her afterbirth that comes out from between her feet and her children whom she bears, because lacking everything she will eat them secretly, ^kin the siege and in the distress with which your enemy shall distress you in your towns.

2 Kings 25:1-3

Fall and Captivity of Judah

1 ^lAnd in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, ^mNebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came with all his army against Jerusalem and laid siege to it. ⁿAnd 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 ^othe famine was so severe in the city that there was no food for the people of the land.

Ezekiel 21:21-22

21 For the king of Babylon stands ^pat the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination. He shakes the arrows; he consults ^qthe teraphim; ^{▼▼Or household idols} he looks at the liver. 22 Into his right hand comes the divination for Jerusalem, ^sto set battering rams, to open the mouth with murder, to lift up the voice with shouting, to set battering rams against the gates, ^tto cast up mounds, to build siege towers.

Ezekiel 24:2

2 ^u“Son of man, write down the name of this day, this very day. The king of Babylon has laid siege to Jerusalem this very day.

Luke 19:43-44

43 For ^vthe days will come upon you, when your enemies ^wwill set up a barricade around you and ^xsurround you and hem you in on every side 44 ^yand tear you down to the ground, you and your children within you. And ^zthey will not leave one stone upon another in you, because you did not know ^aathe time of your ^abvisitation.”
