Jeremiah 19:8

And I will make this city desolate, and an hissing
An hissing to its enemies; an hissing because desolate; when its walls should be broken down, its houses burnt with fire, and its inhabitants put to the sword, or carried captive: everyone that passeth thereby shall be astonished, and hiss;
surprised to see the desolations of it; that a city once so famous and flourishing should be reduced to such a miserable condition; and yet hiss by way of detestation and abhorrence of it, and for joy at its ruin: because of all the plagues thereof:
by which it was brought to desolation, as the sword, famine, burning, and captivity.
