Jesus Laments over Jerusalem(A)
34 (B)“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you were not willing! 35 See! (C)Your house is left to you desolate; and [a]assuredly, I say to you, you shall not see Me until the time comes when you say, (D)‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’ ”

New King James Version
16 Thus says the Lord:
“Stand in the ways and see,
And ask for the (A)old paths, where the good way is,
And walk in it;
Then you will find (B)rest for your souls.
But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’
17 Also, I set (C)watchmen over you, saying,
(D)‘Listen to the sound of the trumpet!’
But they said, ‘We will not listen.’
Proverbs 1:24-31
New King James Version
24 (A)Because I have called and you refused,
I have stretched out my hand and no one regarded,
25 Because you (B)disdained all my counsel,
And would have none of my rebuke,
26 (C)I also will laugh at your calamity;
I will mock when your terror comes,
27 When (D)your terror comes like a storm,
And your destruction comes like a whirlwind,
When distress and anguish come upon you.
28 “Then(E) they will call on me, but I will not answer;
They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me.
29 Because they (F)hated knowledge
And did not (G)choose the fear of the Lord,
30 (H)They would have none of my counsel
And despised my every rebuke.
31 Therefore (I)they shall eat the fruit of their own way,
And be filled to the full with their own fancies.

To turn them to Yourself;
And they worked great provocations.

Luke 19:14-44
New King James Version
14 (A)But his citizens hated him, and sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We will not have this man to reign over us.’
15 “And so it was that when he returned, having received the kingdom, he then commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading. 16 Then came the first, saying, ‘Master, your mina has earned ten minas.’ 17 And he said to him, (B)‘Well done, good servant; because you were (C)faithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities.’ 18 And the second came, saying, ‘Master, your mina has earned five minas.’ 19 Likewise he said to him, ‘You also be over five cities.’
20 “Then another came, saying, ‘Master, here is your mina, which I have kept put away in a handkerchief. 21 (D)For I feared you, because you are [a]an austere man. You collect what you did not deposit, and reap what you did not sow.’ 22 And he said to him, (E)‘Out of your own mouth I will judge you, you wicked servant. (F)You knew that I was an austere man, collecting what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow. 23 Why then did you not put my money in the bank, that at my coming I might have collected it with interest?’
24 “And he said to those who stood by, ‘Take the mina from him, and give it to him who has ten minas.’ 25 (But they said to him, ‘Master, he has ten minas.’) 26 ‘For I say to you, (G)that to everyone who has will be given; and from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him. 27 But bring here those enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, and slay them before me.’ ”
The Triumphal Entry(H)
28 When He had said this, (I)He went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. 29 (J)And it came to pass, when He drew near to [b]Bethphage and (K)Bethany, at the mountain called (L)Olivet, that He sent two of His disciples, 30 saying, “Go into the village opposite you, where as you enter you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat. Loose it and bring it here. 31 And if anyone asks you, ‘Why are you loosing it?’ thus you shall say to him, ‘Because the Lord has need of it.’ ”
32 So those who were sent went their way and found it just (M)as He had said to them. 33 But as they were loosing the colt, the owners of it said to them, “Why are you loosing the colt?”
34 And they said, “The Lord has need of him.” 35 Then they brought him to Jesus. (N)And they threw their own clothes on the colt, and they set Jesus on him. 36 And as He went, many spread their clothes on the road.
37 Then, as He was now drawing near the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to (O)rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works they had seen, 38 saying:
(P)“ ‘Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord!’
(Q)Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”
39 And some of the Pharisees called to Him from the crowd, “Teacher, rebuke Your disciples.”
40 But He answered and said to them, “I tell you that if these should keep silent, (R)the stones would immediately cry out.”
Jesus Weeps over Jerusalem
41 Now as He drew near, He saw the city and (S)wept over it, 42 saying, “If you had known, even you, especially in this (T)your day, the things that (U)make for your (V)peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes. 43 For days will come upon you when your enemies will (W)build an embankment around you, surround you and close you in on every side, 44 (X)and level you, and your children within you, to the ground; and (Y)they will not leave in you one stone upon another, (Z)because you did not know the time of your visitation.”
