Lamentations 2:13
מ (Mem)
2:13 With what can I equate you?
To what can I compare you, O Daughter Jerusalem?
To what can I liken you
so that I might comfort you, O Virgin Daughter Zion?
Your wound is as deep as the sea.
Who can heal you?
Lamentations 4:6-11
ו (Vav)
4:6 The punishment of my people
exceeded that of of Sodom,
which was overthrown in a moment
with no one to help her.
ז (Zayin)
4:7 Her consecrated ones were brighter than snow,
whiter than milk;
their bodies more ruddy than corals,
their hair like lapis lazuli.
ח (Khet)
4:8 Now their appearance is darker than soot;
they are not recognized in the streets.
Their skin has shriveled on their bones;
it is dried up, like tree bark.
ט (Tet)
4:9 Those who died by the sword are better off
than those who die of hunger,
those who waste away,
struck down from lack of food.
י (Yod)
4:10 The hands of tenderhearted women
cooked their own children,
who became their food,
when my people were destroyed.
כ (Kaf)
4:11 The Lord fully vented his wrath;
he poured out his fierce anger.
He started a fire in Zion;
it consumed her foundations.
Daniel 9:12
9:12 He has carried out his threats
against us and our rulers
who were over
us by bringing great calamity on us – what has happened to Jerusalem has never been equaled under all heaven!
Matthew 24:21
24:21 For then there will be great suffering
unlike anything that has happened
from the beginning of the world until now, or ever will happen.
Luke 21:22-23
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.
Luke 23:28-31
23:28 But Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem,
do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves
and for your children.
23:29 For this is certain:
The days are coming when they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, the wombs that never bore children, and the breasts that never nursed!’
23:30 Then they will begin
to say to the mountains, ‘
Fall on us!’
and to the hills, ‘
Cover us!’
23:31 For if such things are done
when the wood is green, what will happen when it is dry?”
