Luke 19:41-44
New International Version
41 As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it(A) 42 and said, “If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace—but now it is hidden from your eyes. 43 The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in on every side.(B) 44 They will dash you to the ground, you and the children within your walls.(C) They will not leave one stone on another,(D) because you did not recognize the time of God’s coming(E) to you.”
Luke 19:41-44
International Standard Version
41 When he came closer and saw the city, he began to grieve over it: 42 “If you[a] had only known today what could have brought you peace! But now it is hidden from your sight, 43 because the days will come[b] when your enemies will build walls around you, surround you, and close you in on every side. 44 They will level you to the ground—you and those who live[c] within your city limits.[d] They will not leave one stone on another within your walls,[e] because you didn’t recognize the time when you were visited.”[f]
