Luke 19:41-44
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
41 And as He approached, He saw the city, and He wept [[a]audibly] over it,
42 Exclaiming, Would that you had known personally, even at least in this your day, the things that make for peace (for [b]freedom from all the distresses that are experienced as the result of sin and upon which your peace—your [c]security, safety, prosperity, and happiness—depends)! But now they are hidden from your eyes.
43 For a time is coming upon you when your enemies will throw up a [d]bank [with pointed stakes] about you and surround you and shut you in on every side.(A)
44 And they will dash you down to the ground, you [Jerusalem] and your children within you; and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, [all] because you did not come progressively to recognize and know and understand [from observation and experience] the time of your visitation [that is, when God was visiting you, the time [e]in which God showed Himself gracious toward you and offered you salvation through Christ].
