Broken things in Scripture - 1

Wickedness 

 Job 24:20  

The womb forgets them, the worm feasts on them; evil men are no longer remembered but are broken like a tree.

Cities 

Jeremiah 4:26 

I looked, and the fruitful land was a desert; all its towns lay in ruins before the LORD, before his fierce anger.

Images 

Jeremiah 50:2  

“Announce and proclaim among the nations, lift up a banner and proclaim it; keep nothing back, but say, ‘Babylon will be captured; Bel will be put to shame, Marduk filled with terror. Her images will be put to shame and her idols filled with terror.’

Middle wall of portion 

Ephesians 2:14 

 For he himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility,

Walls 

Nehemiah 1:3

 They said to me, “Those who survived the exile and are back in the province are in great trouble and disgrace. The wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and its gates have been burned with fire.”

Teeth 

Job 4:10  

The lions may roar and growl, yet the teeth of the great lions are broken.

Legs 

John 19:31  

Now it was the day of Preparation, and the next day was to be a special Sabbath. Because the Jews did not want the bodies left on the crosses during the Sabbath, they asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies taken down.
