2 Kings 21:13-15
New Catholic Bible
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 15 for they have done what is evil in my sight, provoking me to anger from the day that their fathers came forth from Egypt even up to the present day.”

- 2 Kings 21:13 Two customary metaphors for expressing a fate: Jerusalem will be treated as Samaria had been. The dish is abandoned when everything on it has been removed.
2 Kings 21:13-15
New International Version
13 I will stretch out over Jerusalem the measuring line used against Samaria and the plumb line(A) used against the house of Ahab. I will wipe(B) out Jerusalem as one wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down. 14 I will forsake(C) the remnant(D) of my inheritance and give them into the hands of enemies. They will be looted and plundered by all their enemies; 15 they have done evil(E) in my eyes and have aroused(F) my anger from the day their ancestors came out of Egypt until this day.”
