24 Behold, ^cthe siege mounds have come up to the city to take it, and ^dbecause of sword and famine and pestilence ^ethe city is given into the hands of the Chaldeans who are fighting against it. What you spoke has come to pass, and behold, you see it.

Ezekiel 4:1-8

The Siege of Jerusalem Symbolized

1 “And you, ^fson of man, ^gtake a brick and lay it before you, and engrave on it a city, even Jerusalem. 2 ^hAnd put siegeworks against it, ⁱand build a siege wall against it, ^jand cast up a mound against it. Set camps also against it, ^kand plant battering rams against it all around. 3 And you, take an iron griddle, and place it as an iron wall between you and the city; ^land set your face toward it, ^mand let it be in a state of siege, and press the siege against it. This is ⁿa sign for the house of Israel.

4 “Then lie on your left side, and place the punishment ^{▼▼Or iniquity; also verses 5, 6, 17} of the house of Israel upon it. For the number of the days that you lie on it, ^pyou shall bear their punishment. 5 For I assign to you a number of days, ^q390 days, ^requal to the number of the years of their punishment. ^sSo long shall you bear ^tthe punishment of the house of Israel. 6 And when you have completed these, you shall lie down a second time, but on your right side, and ^ubear ^vthe punishment of the house of Judah. ^wForty days I assign you, a day for each year. 7 ^xAnd you shall set your face toward the siege of Jerusalem, ^ywith your arm bared, and you shall prophesy against the city. 8 And behold, ^zI will place cords upon you, so that you cannot turn from one side to the other, till you have completed ^aathe days of your siege.

Ezekiel 21:22-24

22 Into his right hand comes the divination for Jerusalem, ^abto set battering rams, to open the mouth with murder, to lift up the voice with shouting, to set battering rams against the gates, ^acto cast up mounds, to build siege towers. 23 But to them it will seem like a false divination. ^adThey have sworn solemn oaths, but he brings their guilt to remembrance, ^aethat they may be taken.

24 “Therefore thus says the Lord God: Because you have made your guilt to be remembered, in that your transgressions are uncovered, so that in all your deeds your sins appear—because you have come to remembrance, ^afyou shall be taken in hand.

Luke 19:43-44

43 For ^agthe days will come upon you, when your enemies ^ahwill set up a barricade around you and ^aisurround you and hem you in on every side 44 ^ajand tear you down to the ground, you and your children within you. And ^akthey will not leave one stone upon another in you, because you did not know ^althe time of your ^amvisitation.”
