• Lamentations 2:1-5
  How the Lord has covered the daughter of Zion
  With a cloud in His anger!
  He cast down from heaven to the earth
  The beauty of Israel,
  And did not remember His footstool
  In the day of His anger.
  The Lord has swallowed up and has not pitied
  All the dwelling places of Jacob.
  He has thrown down in His wrath
  The strongholds of the daughter of Judah;
  He has brought them down to the ground;
  He has profaned the kingdom and its princes.
  He has cut off in fierce anger
  Every horn of Israel;
  He has drawn back His right hand
  From before the enemy.
  He has blazed against Jacob like a flaming fire
  Devouring all around.
  Standing like an enemy, He has bent His bow;
  With His right hand, like an adversary,
  He has slain all who were pleasing to His eye;
  On the tent of the daughter of Zion,
  He has poured out His fury like fire.
  The Lord was like an enemy.
  He has swallowed up Israel,
  He has swallowed up all her palaces;
  He has destroyed her strongholds,
  And has increased mourning and lamentation
  In the daughter of Judah.
  
   
• 2 Kings 21:10-16
  And the LORD spoke by His servants the prophets, saying, “Because Manasseh king of Judah has done these abominations (he has acted more wickedly than all the Amorites who were before him, and has also made Judah sin with his idols), therefore thus says the LORD God of Israel: ‘Behold, I am bringing such calamity upon Jerusalem and Judah, that whoever hears of it, both his ears will tingle. And I will stretch over Jerusalem the measuring line of Samaria and the plummet of the house of Ahab; I will wipe Jerusalem as one wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down. So I will forsake the remnant of My inheritance and deliver them into the hand of their enemies; and they shall become victims of plunder to all their enemies, because they have done evil in My sight, and have provoked Me to anger since the day their fathers came out of Egypt, even to this day.’” Moreover Manasseh shed very much innocent blood, till he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another, besides his sin by which he made Judah sin, in doing evil in the sight of the LORD.
   
• 2 Chronicles 36:15-21
  And the LORD God of their fathers sent warnings to them by His messengers, rising up early and sending them, because He had compassion on His people and on His dwelling place. But they mocked the messengers of God, despised His words, and scoffed at His prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against His people, till there was no remedy. Therefore He brought against them the king of the Chaldeans, who killed their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion on young man or virgin, on the aged or the weak; He gave them all into his hand. And all the articles from the house of God, great and small, the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king and of his leaders, all these he took to Babylon. Then they burned the house of God, broke down the wall of Jerusalem, burned all its palaces with fire, and destroyed all its precious possessions. And those who escaped from the sword he carried away to Babylon, where they became servants to him and his sons until the rule of the kingdom of Persia, to fulfill the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed her Sabbaths. As long as she lay desolate she kept Sabbath, to fulfill seventy years.
