The Destruction of Jerusalem

20 “When you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, know that its desolation is near. 21 Then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains, those who are in the city must get out, and those who are in the countryside must not enter the city. 22 For those will be days of vengeance, to fulfill all that is written. 23 Woe to those who are with child and to those who are nursing infants in those days! [fn]For there will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people. 24 They will fall by the edge of the sword and be led captive into all the nations, and Jerusalem will be trampled by the Gentiles until [fn]the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
