20But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that her desolation has drawn near.

21Then let those in Judea flee to the mountains, and let those in the midst of her depart, and let those in the countryside not enter into her.

22For these are days of vengeance, that all the things written may be fulfilled.

23Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing infants in those days! For there will be great distress upon the land, and wrath against this people,

24And they will fall by the edge of the sword and will be led captive into all the nations, and Jerusalem will be trampled by the nations until the times of the nations are fulfilled.
