Luke 19:41-44
21st Century King James Version
41 And when He had come near, He beheld the city and wept over it,
42 saying, “If thou had known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which must be for 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 around, and keep thee in on every side.
44 And they shall lay thee even with the ground and thy children within thee; and they shalt not leave in thee one stone upon another, because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.”

41 And when he drew nigh, he saw the city and wept over it, 42 saying, [a]If thou hadst known in [b]this day, even thou, the things which belong unto [c]peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. 43 For the days shall come upon thee, when thine enemies shall cast up a [d]bank about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, 44 and shall dash thee to 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.
