Bible References

That art

Therefore in that day the Lord God of hosts called you to weeping, to wailing,
To shaving the head and to wearing sackcloth.

Is this your jubilant city,
Whose origin is from antiquity,
Whose feet used to carry her to colonize distant places?

For the land of my people in which thorns and briars shall come up;

Yea, for all the joyful houses and for the jubilant city.

Do you put off the day of calamity,
And would you bring near the seat of violence?

Thy slain

“Therefore, thus says the Lord concerning the king of Assyria, ‘He will not come to this city or shoot an arrow there; and he will not come before it with a shield, or throw up a siege ramp against it.

‘If I go out to the country,
Behold, those slain with the sword!
Or if I enter the city,
Behold, diseases of famine!
For both prophet and priest
Have gone roving about in the land that they do not know.’”

“Thus says the Lord, ‘He who stays in this city will die by the sword and by famine and by pestilence, but he who goes out to the Chaldeans will live and have his own life as booty and stay alive.’

On the ninth day of the fourth month the famine was so severe in the city that there was no food for the people of the land.

See, O Lord, and look!
With whom have You dealt thus?
Should women eat their offspring,
The little ones who were born healthy?
Should priest and prophet be slain
In the sanctuary of the Lord?

Better are those

slain with the sword

Than those slain with hunger;
For they

pine away, being stricken

For lack of the fruits of the field.
