Matthew 23:37-39

Modern English Version

The Lament Over Jerusalem^(A)

³⁷ “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those who are sent to you, how often I would have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you would not! ³⁸ Look, your house is left to you desolate. ³⁹ For I tell you, you shall not see Me again until you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.’^[a]”
