Leviticus 26:25
25And aI will bring a sword upon you, that shall execute vengeance for the covenant. And if you gather within your cities, bI will send pestilence among you, and you shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.Deuteronomy 28:52-57
52“They shall cbesiege 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 dyou shall eat the fruit of your womb, the flesh of your sons and daughters, whom the Lord your God has given you, ein 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 fbegrudge food to his brother, to gthe 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, iin the siege and in the distress with which your enemy shall distress you in all your towns. 56 jThe 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, lin the siege and in the distress with which your enemy shall distress you in your towns. Isaiah 29:3
3 mAnd I will encamp against you all around,and will besiege you nwith towers
and I will raise siegeworks against you.
Isaiah 42:24-25
24Who gave up Jacob to the looter,and Israel to the plunderers?
Was it not the Lord, against whom we have sinned,
in whose ways they would not walk,
and whose law they would not obey?
25So he poured on him the heat of his anger
and the might of battle;
it set him on fire all around, obut he did not understand;
it burned him up, pbut he did not take it to heart.
Jeremiah 6:3-6
3 qShepherds with their flocks shall come against her;rthey shall pitch their tents around her;
they shall pasture, each in his place.
4 s“Prepare war against her;
arise, and let us attack tat noon!
Woe to us, for the day declines,
for the shadows of evening lengthen!
5Arise, and let us attack by night
and destroy her palaces!”
6 For thus says the Lord of hosts:
u“Cut down her trees;
vcast up a siege mound against Jerusalem.
This is the city that must be wpunished;
there is nothing but oppression within her.
Jeremiah 32:24
24Behold, xthe siege mounds have come up to the city to take it, and ybecause of sword and famine and pestilence zthe 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.Jeremiah 52:7
7Then a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war fled and went out from the city by night by the way of a gate between the two walls, by the king’s garden, and the Chaldeans were around the city. And they went in the direction of the Arabah.
