Psalms 74:3-7

3 Direct your steps to ^athe perpetual ruins;
the enemy has destroyed everything in the sanctuary!
4 Your foes have ^broared in the midst of your meeting place;
^cthey set up their ^down signs for ^esigns.
5 They were like those who swing ^faxes
in a forest of trees. ^{▼▼The meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain}
6 And all its ^hcarved wood
they broke down with hatchets and hammers.
7 They ⁱset your sanctuary on fire;
they ^jprofaned ^kthe dwelling place of your name,
bringing it down to the ground.

Isaiah 64:11-12

11 ^lOur holy and beautiful ^{▼▼Or holy and glorious} house,
where our fathers praised you,
has been burned by fire,
and all our pleasant places have become ruins.
12 ⁿWill you restrain yourself at these things, O Lord?
Will you keep silent, and afflict us so terribly?

Lamentations 1:10

10 The enemy has stretched out his hands
over all her ^oprecious things;
for she has seen ^pthe nations
enter her sanctuary,
those whom you ^qforbade
to enter your congregation.

Lamentations 4:1

The Holy Stones Lie Scattered

1 ^rHow the gold has grown dim,
how the pure gold is changed!
The holy stones lie scattered
^sat the head of every street.

Matthew 24:2

2 But he answered them, “You see all these, do you not? Truly, I say to you, ^tthere will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down.”

Revelation of John 11:2

2 but do not measure ^uthe court outside the temple; leave that out, for ^vit is given over to the nations, and they will trample the holy city for ^wforty-two months.
