Sanhedrin 104a: “The Rabbis comment on the verse “How she dwelled alone.” (Lamentations 1:1).
Rabbah, in the name of Rabbi Yochanan says, “I (=Hashem) said, ‘Israel – dwell separate and secure, the eye of Jacob.’ (Deut. 33:28). Now, they will be separated and alone.

Now that we have failed to do so willingly, we will be separated from the nations of the world against our will. ”
