Isaiah 14:16
14:16 Those who see you stare at you,
they look at you carefully, thinking:
“Is this the man who shook the earth,
the one who made kingdoms tremble?
Jeremiah 32:24
32:24 Even now siege ramps have been built up around the city
in order to capture it. War,
starvation, and disease are sure to make the city fall into the hands of the Babylonians
who are attacking it.
Lord,
you threatened that this would happen. Now you can see that it is already taking place.
Jeremiah 33:4
33:4 For I, the
Lord God of Israel, have something more to say about the houses in this city and the royal buildings which have been torn down for defenses against the siege ramps and military incursions of the Babylonians:
Jeremiah 52:4-7
52:4 King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon came against Jerusalem with his whole army and set up camp outside it.
They built siege ramps all around it. He arrived on the tenth day of the tenth month in the ninth year that Zedekiah ruled over Judah.
52:5 The city remained under siege until Zedekiah’s eleventh year.
52:6 By the ninth day of the fourth month
the famine in the city was so severe the residents
had no food.
52:7 They broke through the city walls, and all the soldiers tried to escape. They left the city during the night. They went through the gate between the two walls that is near the king’s garden.
(The Babylonians had the city surrounded.) Then they headed for the Jordan Valley.
