Today: Old City of Jerusalem
A city in the hills of Judea, about 22 miles (35 km) west of the Dead Sea and 35 miles (55 km) east of the Mediterranean.
David took it and made it his city (2 Sam 5:7); Solomon built the temple there (1 Kgs 8:1). Jesus was presented there, and the apostles' witness began from it (Luke 2:22; Acts 1:8).
14Your prophets have seen for you what is empty and insipid, and they have not exposed your iniquity to bring back your captivity; they have seen for you burdens that are empty and deceptions.
15 · This verse (above)
16They have opened their mouth against you, all your enemies; they hiss and grind their teeth; they say, “We have swallowed her up! Surely this is the day that we hoped for; we have found it, we have seen it.”
