Jesus Weeps over Jerusalem
41 As he came near and saw the city, he wept over it,(A) 42 saying, “If you, even you, had only recognized on this day the things that make for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes. 43 Indeed, the days will come upon you when your enemies will set up ramparts around you and surround you and hem you in on every side.(B) 44 They will crush you to the ground, you and your children within you, and they will not leave within you one stone upon another, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation from God.”[a](C)

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]
