2 Kings 21:12-14

New Catholic Bible

¹² Therefore, thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Behold, I am bringing a terrible disaster upon Jerusalem and Judah that is so bad that the ears of those who hear about it will tingle. ^13 [a]I will stretch out over Jerusalem the measuring line that I used against Samaria and the plumb line I used against the house of Ahab. ¹⁴ I will wipe out Jerusalem as one wipes out a dish, wiping it out and turning it over. I will abandon the remnant of my inheritance, and I will deliver them into the hands of their enemies. They will be plunder and booty to all of their enemies
