Jesus Weeps over Jerusalem

⁴¹Now as He drew near, He saw the city and ^(A)wept over it, ⁴²saying, “If you had known, even you, especially in this ^(B)your day, the things that ^(C)make for your ^(D)peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes. ⁴³For days will come upon you when your enemies will ^(E)build an embankment around you, surround you and close you in on every side, ⁴⁴^(F)and level you, and your children within you, to the ground; and ^(G)they will not leave in you one stone upon another, ^(H)because you did not know the time of your visitation.”

Jesus Laments over Jerusalem^(A)

³⁷^(B)“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets ^(C)and stones those who are sent to her! How often ^(D)I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks ^(E)under her wings, but you were not willing! ³⁸See! Your house is left to you desolate; ³⁹for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, ^(F)‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’ ”
