Matthew 3:10

ἤδη δὲ καὶ ἡ ἀξίνη πρὸς τὴν ῥίζαν τῶν δένδρων κεῖται· πᾶν οὖν δένδρον μὴ ποιοῦν καρπὸν καλὸν ἐκκόπτεται καὶ εἰς πῦρ βάλλεται

And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth forth not good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

Daniel 4:23

וְדִי חֲזָה מַלְכָּא עִיר וְקַדִּישׁ נָחִת׀ מִן-שְׁמַיָּא וְאָמַר גֹּדּוּ אִֽילָנָא וְחַבְּלוּהִי בְּרַם עִקַּר שָׁרְשׁוֹהִי בְּאַרְעָא שְׁבֻקוּ וּבֶאֱסוּר דִּֽי-פַרְזֶל וּנְחָשׁ בְּדִתְאָא דִּי בָרָא וּבְטַל שְׁמַיָּא יִצְטַבַּע וְעִם-חֵיוַת בָּרָא חֲלָקֵהּ עַד דִּֽי-שִׁבְעָה עִדָּנִין יַחְלְפוּן עֲלֽוֹהִי׃

And whereas the king saw a watcher and an holy one coming down from heaven, and saying, Hew the tree down, and destroy it; yet leave the stump of the roots thereof in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts of the field, till seven times pass over him;

Ezekiel 31:12

וַיִּכְרְתֻהוּ זָרִים עָרִיצֵי גוֹיִם וַֽיִּטְּשֻׁהוּ אֶל-הֶהָרִים וּבְכָל-גֵּאָיוֹת נָפְלוּ דָלִיּוֹתָיו וַתִּשָּׁבַרְנָה פֹֽרֹאתָיו בְּכֹל אֲפִיקֵי הָאָרֶץ וַיֵּרְדוּ מִצִּלּוֹ כָּל-עַמֵּי הָאָרֶץ וַֽיִּטְּשֻֽׁהוּ׃

And strangers, the terrible of the nations, have cut him off, and have left him: upon the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are fallen, and his boughs are broken by all the rivers of the land; and all the people of the earth are gone down from his shadow, and have left him.

Luke 3:9

And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth forth not good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

εἶπεν δὲ πρὸς τὸν ἀμπελουργόν Ἰδού τρία ἔτη ἔρχομαι ζητῶν καρπὸν ἐν τῇ συκῇ ταύτῃ καὶ οὐχ εὑρίσκω· ἔκκοψον αὐτήν ἱνατί καὶ τὴν γῆν καταργεῖ

Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut down; it why cumbereth it the ground?

Daniel 4:12

עָפְיֵהּ שַׁפִּיר וְאִנְבֵּהּ שַׂגִּיא וּמָזוֹן לְכֹלָּא-בֵהּ תְּחֹתוֹהִי תַּטְלֵל׀ חֵיוַת בָּרָא וּבְעַנְפוֹהִי יְדרּוָן צִפֲּרֵי שְׁמַיָּא וּמִנֵּהּ יִתְּזִין כָּל-בִּשְׂרָֽא׃

The leaves thereof were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was meat for all: the beasts of the field had shadow under it, and the fowls of the heaven dwelt in the boughs thereof, and all flesh was fed of it.

Daniel 3:4

וְכָרוֹזָא קָרֵא בְחָיִל לְכוֹן אָֽמְרִין עַֽמְמַיָּא אֻמַּיָּא וְלִשָּׁנַיָּֽא׃

Then an herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O people, nations, and languages,

Matthew 7:19

πᾶν δένδρον μὴ ποιοῦν καρπὸν καλὸν ἐκκόπτεται καὶ εἰς πῦρ βάλλεται

Daniel 5:20

וּכְדִי רִם לִבְבֵהּ וְרוּחֵהּ תִּֽקְפַת לַהֲזָדָה הָנְחַת מִן-כָּרְסֵא מַלְכוּתֵהּ וִֽיקָרָה הֶעְדִּיוּ מִנֵּֽהּ׃

But when his heart was lifted up, and his mind hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him:

Revelation 10:3

καὶ ἔκραξεν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ ὥσπερ λέων μυκᾶται καὶ ὅτε ἔκραξεν ἐλάλησαν αἱ ἑπτὰ βρονταὶ τὰς ἑαυτῶν φωνάς

And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.

Jeremiah 51:9

רִפִּאנוּ אֶת-בָּבֶל וְלֹא נִרְפָּתָה עִזְבוּהָ וְנֵלֵךְ אִישׁ לְאַרְצוֹ כִּֽי-נָגַע אֶל-הַשָּׁמַיִם מִשְׁפָּטָהּ וְנִשָּׂא עַד-שְׁחָקִֽים׃

We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country: for her judgment reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies.

Revelation 18:2

καὶ ἔκραξεν ἐν ἰσχύϊ φωνῇ μεγάλη λέγων Ἔπεσεν ἔπεσεν Βαβυλὼν ἡ μεγάλῃ καὶ ἐγένετο κατοικητήριον δαιμόνων καὶ φυλακὴ παντὸς πνεύματος ἀκαθάρτου καὶ φυλακὴ παντὸς ὀρνέου ἀκαθάρτου καὶ μεμισημένου

And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.

Jeremiah 51:6

נֻסוּ׀ מִתּוֹךְ בָּבֶל וּמַלְּטוּ אִישׁ נַפְשׁוֹ אַל-תִּדַּמּוּ בַּעֲוֺנָהּ כִּי עֵת נְקָמָה הִיא לַֽיהוָה גְּמוּל הוּא מְשַׁלֵּם לָֽהּ׃

Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity; for this is the time of the LORD's vengeance; he will render unto her a recompence.
