“Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Now, thou son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the bloody city? yea, thou shalt shew her all her abominations. Then say thou, Thus saith the Lord GOD, The city sheddeth blood in the midst of it, that her time may come, and maketh idols against herself to defile herself. Thou art become guilty in thy blood that thou hast shed; and hast defiled thyself in thine idols which thou hast made; and thou hast caused thy days to draw near, and art come even unto thy years: therefore have I made thee a reproach unto the heathen, and a mocking to all countries.”
Ezekiel 22:1-4, KJV

“Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose scum ‭is‭ therein, and whose scum is not gone out of it! bring it out piece by piece; let no lot fall upon it.‭ For her blood is in the midst of her; she set it upon the top of a rock; she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it with dust;‭ That it might cause fury to come up to take vengeance; I have set her blood upon the top of a rock, that it should not be covered.‭ Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city! I will even make the pile for fire great.‭ Heap on wood, kindle the fire, consume the flesh, and spice it well, and let the bones be burned.‭ Then set it empty upon the coals thereof, that the brass of it may be hot, and may burn, and ‭that‭ the filthiness of it may be molten in it, ‭that‭ the scum of it may be consumed.‭ She hath wearied ‭herself‭ with lies, and her great scum went not forth out of her: her scum ‭shall be‭ in the fire.‭ In thy filthiness ‭is‭ lewdness: because I have purged thee, and thou wast not purged, thou shalt not be purged from thy filthiness any more, till I have caused my fury to rest upon thee.‭ I the LORD have spoken ‭it‭: it shall come to pass, and I will do ‭it‭; I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I repent; according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, shall they judge thee, saith the Lord GOD.‭”
Ezekiel 24:6-14, KJV

“Woe to the bloody city! it ‭is‭ all full of lies ‭and‭ robbery; the prey departeth not;‭ The noise of a whip, and the noise of the rattling of the wheels, and of the pransing horses, and of the jumping chariots.‭ The horseman lifteth up both the bright sword and the glittering spear: and ‭there is‭ a multitude of slain, and a great number of carcases; and ‭there is‭ none end of ‭their‭ corpses; they stumble upon their corpses:‭”
Nahum 3:1-3, KJV

“The LORD hath accomplished his fury; he hath poured out his fierce anger, and hath kindled a fire in Zion, and it hath devoured the foundations thereof.‭ The kings of the earth, and all the inhabitants of the world, would not have believed that the adversary and the enemy should have entered into the gates of Jerusalem.‭ ‭‭FOR THE SINS OF HER PROPHETS, ‭AND‭ THE INIQUITIES OF HER PRIESTS, THAT HAVE SHED THE BLOOD OF THE JUST IN THE MIDST OF HER,‭ They have wandered ‭as‭ blind ‭men‭ in the streets, they have polluted themselves with blood, so that men could not touch their garments.‭”
Lamentations 4:11-14, KJV
