And the waters will overflow the hiding place.

Lamentations 2:8
New King James Version
8 The Lord has [a]purposed to destroy
The (A)wall of the daughter of Zion.
(B)He has stretched out a line;
He has not withdrawn His hand from destroying;
Therefore He has caused the rampart and wall to lament;
They languished together.
