Jeremiah 19:11

וְאָמַרְתָּ אֲלֵיהֶם כֹּה-אָמַר׀ יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת כָּכָה אֶשְׁבֹּר אֶת-הָעָם הַזֶּה וְאֶת-הָעִיר הַזֹּאת כַּאֲשֶׁר יִשְׁבֹּר אֶת-כְּלִי הַיּוֹצֵר אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא-יוּכַל לְהֵרָפֵה עוֹד וּבְתֹפֶת יִקְבְּרוּ מֵאֵין מָקוֹם לִקְבּֽוֹר׃
11
And shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Even so will I break this people and this city, as one breaketh a potter's vessel, that cannot be made whole again: and they shall bury them in Tophet, till there be no place to bury.

Isaiah 60:12

כִּֽי-הַגּוֹי וְהַמַּמְלָכָה אֲשֶׁר לֹא-יַעַבְדוּךְ יֹאבֵדוּ וְהַגּוֹיִם חָרֹב יֶחֱרָֽבוּ׃
12
For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted.

Matthew 21:44

Καὶ πεσὼν ἐπὶ τὸν λίθον τοῦτον συνθλασθήσεται· ἐφ' ὃν δ' ἂν πέσῃ λικμήσει αὐτόν
44
And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind to powder. him
