Zechariah 12:2

Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling [The word "cup of trembling" is only found here in the entire Old Testament, and therefore its meaning is not entirely clear, but the root suggests that it has to do with terrible shaking.] for all the surrounding peoples, and it shall also fall upon Judah and become a siege against Jerusalem.
