"Behold, I will make Yerushalayim [Jerusalem] a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Yehudah [Judah] and against Yerushalayim. And in that day will I make Yerushalayim a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it... (Zechariah 12:2-3)

If I forget thee, O Yerushalayim, let my right hand forget her cunning. If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Yerushalayim above my chief joy. (Psalm 137:5-6)
