Lament over Jerusalem

³⁷^(A)“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that ^(B)kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often would I have ^(C)gathered ^(D)your children together ^(E)as a hen gathers her brood ^(F)under her wings, and ^(G)you were not willing! ³⁸See, ^(H)your house is left to you desolate. ³⁹For I tell you, you will not see me again, until you say, ^(I)‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’”

Jesus Weeps over Jerusalem

⁴¹^(A)And when he drew near and saw the city, ^(B)he wept over it, ⁴²saying, ^(C)“Would that you, even you, had known on this day the things that make for peace! But now ^(D)they are hidden from your eyes. ⁴³For ^(E)the days will come upon you, when your enemies ^(F)will set up a barricade around you and ^(G)surround you and hem you in on every side ⁴⁴^(H)and tear you down to the ground, you and your children within you. And ^(I)they will not leave one stone upon another in you, because you did not know ^(J)the time of your ^(K)visitation.”
