1 Esdras

1 Esdras 2:23

καὶ οἱ ᾿Ιουδαῖοι ἀποστάται καὶ πολιορκίας συνιστάμενοι ἐν αὐτῇ ἔτι ἐξ αἰῶνος, δι᾿ ἣν αἰτίαν καὶ ἡ πόλις αὕτη ἠρημώθη.
King James Version (KJV)

And that the Jews were rebellious, and raised always wars therein; for the which cause even this city was made desolate.

Modern English

and that the Jews were rebels who kept stirring up sieges there from ancient times — which is why this city was left desolate.
