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

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]

King James Version
41 And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,
42 Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.
43 For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,
44 And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.
