And You Will See Days of Vengeance And Wrath Against This People

20 “But when you see Jerusalem being surrounded by army-encampments, then recognize that her desolation has drawn-near. 21 Then[a] let the ones in Judea be fleeing to the mountains. And let the ones in the midst of her[b] be going-out. And let the ones in the fields not be entering into her. 22 Because these are days of vengeance, that all the things having been written may be fulfilled. 23 Woe to the ones having a child in the womb, and to the ones nursing in those days. For there will be a great distress[c] upon the land, and wrath against this people. 24 And they will fall by the edge of the sword. And they will be taken-captive to all the nations. And Jerusalem will be being trampled[d] by the Gentiles[e] until which time the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
