Ezekiel
Ezekiel 24:9ESV·traditional attribution
Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Woe to the bloody city! I also will make the pile great.
Matthew Henry Presbyterian
God knew Jerusalem was being sieged that very day, though Ezekiel sat in Babylon hundreds of miles away. When it came to pass exactly as the prophet announced, the people would have to admit he spoke truly from Heaven; his predictions, like his news, came from the same source.

John Gill Reformed Baptist
The bloody city stands condemned. By 'the pile for fire great,' I mean the vast Chaldean army, God's instrument to besiege Jerusalem and execute His wrath upon it as fire consumes, until judgment is complete and the city is brought to ruin.
