Jeremiah 6:2-3
6:2 I will destroy Daughter Zion,
who is as delicate and defenseless as a young maiden.
6:3 Kings will come against it with their armies.
They will encamp in siege all around it.
Each of them will devastate the portion assigned to him.

who is as delicate and defenseless as a young maiden.
Jeremiah 25:1-4
Seventy Years of Servitude for Failure to Give Heed
25:1 In the fourth year that Jehoiakim son of Josiah was king of Judah, the Lord spoke to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah. (That was the same as the first year that Nebuchadnezzar was king of Babylon.)
25:2 So the prophet Jeremiah spoke to all the people of Judah and to all the people who were living in Jerusalem.
25:3 “For the last twenty-three years, from the thirteenth year that Josiah son of Amon was ruling in Judah until now, the Lord has been speaking to me. I told you over and over again what he said. But you would not listen.
25:4 Over and over again the Lord has sent his servants the prophets to you. But you have not listened or paid attention.
Isaiah 1:8
1:8 Daughter Zion is left isolated,
like a hut in a vineyard,
or a shelter in a cucumber field;
she is a besieged city.
Luke 19:43-44
19:43 For the days will come upon you when your enemies will build
an embankment
against you and surround you and close in on you from every side.
19:44 They will demolish you
– you and your children within your walls
– and they will not leave within you one stone
on top of another,
because you did not recognize the time of your visitation from God.”
Luke 21:20-24
The Desolation of Jerusalem
21:20 “But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation has come near.
21:21 Then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains. Those who are inside the city must depart. Those who are out in the country must not enter it,
21:22 because these are days of vengeance, to fulfill all that is written.
21:23 Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing their babies in those days! For there will be great distress on the earth and wrath against this people.
21:24 They will fall by the edge of the sword and be led away as captives among all nations. Jerusalem will be trampled down by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
