Jesus Weeps over Jerusalem
41 But as he came closer to Jerusalem and saw the city ahead, he began to weep. 42 “How I wish today that you of all people would understand the way to peace. But now it is too late, and peace is hidden from your eyes. 43 Before long your enemies will build ramparts against your walls and encircle you and close in on you from every side. 44 They will crush you into the ground, and your children with you. Your enemies will not leave a single stone in place, because you did not recognize it when God visited you.[a]”

A Warning against Pride
15 Listen and pay attention!
Do not be arrogant, for the Lord has spoken.
16 Give glory to the Lord your God
before it is too late.
Acknowledge him before he brings darkness upon you,
causing you to stumble and fall on the darkening mountains.
For then, when you look for light,
you will find only terrible darkness and gloom.
17 And if you still refuse to listen,
I will weep alone because of your pride.
My eyes will overflow with tears,
because the Lord’s flock will be led away into exile.
Jeremiah 13:15-17

Threat of Captivity
15 Hear and pay attention,
do not be arrogant,
for the Lord has spoken.(A)
16 Give glory(B) to the Lord your God
before he brings the darkness,
before your feet stumble(C)
on the darkening hills.
You hope for light,
but he will turn it to utter darkness
and change it to deep gloom.(D)
17 If you do not listen,(E)
I will weep in secret
because of your pride;
my eyes will weep bitterly,
overflowing with tears,(F)
because the Lord’s flock(G) will be taken captive.(H)
