Jeremiah 6:2-6
Though she is beautiful and delicate, I will destroy Daughter Zion.Shepherds and their flocks will come against her; they will pitch their tents all around her. Each will pasture his own portion.Set them apart for war against her; rise up, let’s attack at noon. Woe to us, for the day is passing; the evening shadows grow long.Rise up, let’s attack by night. Let’s destroy her fortresses.”For this is what the LORD of Armies says: Cut down the trees; raise a siege ramp against Jerusalem. This city must be punished. There is nothing but oppression within her.

Jeremiah 48:11-12
Moab has been left quiet since his youth, settled like wine on its dregs. He hasn’t been poured from one container to another or gone into exile. So his taste has remained the same, and his aroma hasn’t changed.Therefore look, the days are coming— this is the LORD’s declaration— when I will send pourers to him, who will pour him out. They will empty his containers and smash his jars.

Amos 6:1-6
Woe to those who are at ease in Zion and to those who feel secure on the hill of Samaria— the notable people in this first of the nations, those the house of Israel comes to.Cross over to Calneh and see; go from there to great Hamath; then go down to Gath of the Philistines. Are you better than these kingdoms? Is their territory larger than yours?You dismiss any thought of the evil day and bring in a reign of violence.They lie on beds inlaid with ivory, sprawled out on their couches, and dine on lambs from the flock and calves from the stall.They improvise songs to the sound of the harp and invent their own musical instruments like David.They drink wine by the bowlful and anoint themselves with the finest oils but do not grieve over the ruin of Joseph.
