Lamentations 4:12
English Standard Version
12 (A)The kings of the earth did not believe,
nor any of the inhabitants of the world,
that foe or enemy could enter
the gates of Jerusalem.
Lamentations 1:2-9
English Standard Version
2 (A)She weeps bitterly in the night,
with tears on her cheeks;
(B)among all her lovers
she has (C)none to comfort her;
(D)all her friends have dealt treacherously with her;
they have become her enemies.
3 (E)Judah has gone into exile because of affliction[a]
and hard servitude;
(F)she dwells now among the nations,
(G)but finds no resting place;
her pursuers have all overtaken her
in the midst of her distress.[b]
4 The roads to Zion mourn,
for none come to (H)the festival;
(I)all her gates are desolate;
her priests (J)groan;
her virgins have been afflicted,[c]
and she herself suffers bitterly.
5 (K)Her foes have become the head;
her (L)enemies prosper,
because (M)the Lord has afflicted her
(N)for the multitude of her transgressions;
(O)her children have gone away,
captives before the foe.
6 From the daughter of Zion
all her majesty has departed.
Her princes have become like deer
(P)that find no pasture;
they fled without strength
before the pursuer.
7 Jerusalem remembers
in the days of her affliction and wandering
(Q)all the precious things
that were hers from (R)days of old.
When her people fell into the hand of the foe,
and there was none to help her,
her foes gloated over her;
they (S)mocked at her downfall.
8 (T)Jerusalem sinned grievously;
therefore she became filthy;
all who honored her despise her,
(U)for they have seen her nakedness;
she herself (V)groans
and turns her face away.
9 Her uncleanness was (W)in her skirts;
(X)she took no thought of her future;[d]
therefore her fall is terrible;
(Y)she has no comforter.
“O Lord, behold my affliction,
for the enemy has (Z)triumphed!”

Isaiah 27:10-11
English Standard Version
10 (A)For the fortified city is solitary,
a habitation deserted and forsaken, like the wilderness;
there the calf grazes;
there it lies down and strips its branches.
11 When its boughs are dry, they are broken;
women come and make a fire of them.
(B)For this is a people without discernment;
therefore he who made them will not have compassion on them;
he who formed them will show them no favor.
Isaiah 25:10
English Standard Version
10 For the hand of the Lord will rest (A)on this mountain,
and (B)Moab shall be trampled down in his place,
as straw is trampled down in a dunghill.[a]

Psalm 80:12-16
English Standard Version
12 Why then have you (A)broken down its walls,
so that all who pass along the way pluck its fruit?
13 (B)The boar from the forest ravages it,
and all that move in the field feed on it.
14 Turn again, O God of hosts!
(C)Look down from heaven, and see;
have regard for this vine,
15 the stock that your right hand planted,
and for the son whom you made strong for yourself.
16 They have (D)burned it with fire; they have (E)cut it down;
may they perish at (F)the rebuke of your face!
Psalm 74:1-10
English Standard Version
Arise, O God, Defend Your Cause
A Maskil[a] of (A)Asaph.
74 O God, why do you (B)cast us off forever?
Why does your anger (C)smoke against (D)the sheep of your pasture?
2 (E)Remember your congregation, which you have (F)purchased of old,
which you have (G)redeemed to be (H)the tribe of your heritage!
Remember Mount Zion, (I)where you have dwelt.
3 Direct your steps to (J)the perpetual ruins;
the enemy has destroyed everything in the sanctuary!
4 Your foes have (K)roared in the midst of your meeting place;
(L)they set up their (M)own signs for (N)signs.
5 They were like those who swing (O)axes
in a forest of trees.[b]
6 And all its (P)carved wood
they broke down with hatchets and hammers.
7 They (Q)set your sanctuary on fire;
they (R)profaned (S)the dwelling place of your name,
bringing it down to the ground.
8 They (T)said to themselves, “We will utterly subdue them”;
they burned all the meeting places of God in the land.
9 We do not see our (U)signs;
(V)there is no longer any prophet,
and there is none among us who knows how long.
10 How long, O God, (W)is the foe to scoff?
Is the enemy to revile your name forever?

5 (A)Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. He did what was evil in the sight of the Lord his God. 6 (B)Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon (C)and bound him in chains (D)to take him to Babylon. 7 (E)Nebuchadnezzar also carried part of the vessels of the house of the Lord to Babylon and put them in his palace in Babylon. 8 (F)Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and the abominations that he did, and what was found against him, behold, they are written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah. And Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place.
9 (G)Jehoiachin was eighteen[a] years old when he became king, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem. He did what was evil in the sight of the Lord. 10 In (H)the spring of the year King Nebuchadnezzar sent and brought him to Babylon, (I)with the precious vessels of the house of the Lord, and made his brother (J)Zedekiah king over Judah and Jerusalem.
