- The LORD[YHWH]:
- "And manyª nationsª shall passª° by¹ this¹ city,ª and they shall sayª° every manª to¹ his neighbour,ª Wherefore¹¹ hath the LORDª doneª° thus¹ unto this¹ greatª city?ª ... Then they shall answer,ª° Because¹¹ they have forsakenª°¹ the covenantª of the LORDª their God,ª and worshippedª° otherª gods,ª and servedª° them." {Jer 22:8-9} + "Even all¹ nationsª shall say,ª° Wherefore¹¹ hath the LORDª doneª° thus¹ unto this¹ land?ª what¹ [meaneth] the heatª of this¹ greatª anger?ª ... And the LORDª rooted²° them out¹ of¹¹ their landª in anger,ª and in wrath,ª and in greatª indignation,ª and castª° them into¹ anotherª land,ª as [it is] this¹ day.ª" {Deu 29:24-28} + "And at this¹ house,ª [which] is¹ high,ª every one¹ that passethª° by¹ it shall be astonished,ª° and shall hiss;ª° and they shall say,ª° Why¹ hath the LORDª doneª° thus¹ unto this¹ land,ª and to this¹ house?ª ... And they shall answer,ª° Because¹¹ they forsookª°¹ the LORDª their God,ª who¹ brought forthª°¹ their fathersª out of the landª¹ of Egypt,ª and have taken holdª° upon otherª gods,ª and have worshippedª° them, and servedª° them: therefore¹¹ hath the LORDª broughtª° upon¹ them¹ all¹ this¹ evil.ª" {1Kg 9:8-9} + "Then will I pluck them up by the rootsª° out of¹¹ my landª which¹ I have givenª° them; and this¹ house,ª which¹ I have sanctifiedª° for my name,ª will I cast outª° of¹¹ my sight,ª and will makeª° it [to be] a proverbª and a bywordª among all¹ nations.ª ... And it shall be answered,ª° Because¹¹ they forsookª°¹ the LORDª Godª of their fathers,ª which¹ brought them forthª° out of the landª¹ of Egypt,ª and laid holdª° on otherª gods,ª and worshippedª° them, and servedª° them: therefore¹¹ hath he broughtª°¹ all¹ this¹ evilª upon¹ them." {2Ch 7:20-22} + "All¹ that pass²° by¹¹ clapª° [their] handsª at¹ thee;² they hissª° and wagª° their headª at¹ the daughterª of Jerusalem,ª [saying, Is] this¹ the cityª that [men] callª°¹ The perfectionª of beauty,ª The joyª of the whole¹ earth?ª ... The LORDª hath doneª° [that] which¹ he had devised;ª° he hath fulfilledª° his wordª that¹ he had commandedª° in the daysª¹ of old:ª he hath thrown down,ª° and hath not¹ pitied:ª° and he hath caused [thine] enemyª° to rejoiceª° over¹ thee, he hath set upª° the hornª of thine adversaries.ª" {Lam 2:15-17}
