Jeremias 26:18
Micheas of Morasthi was a prophet in the days of Ezechias king of Juda, and he spoke to all the people of Juda, saying: Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Sion shall be ploughed like a field, and Jerusalem shall be a heap of stones: and the mountain of the house the high places of woods.

Haydock's commentary
Mountain. Sion, on which the house of the Lord was built. Conquerors have sometimes ploughed up cities. (Calmet)
Jam seges est ubi Troja fuit. (Ovid, ep. i.)
