^2 (A)that I have great sorrow and continual grief in my heart.

¹⁸ For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are ^(A)the enemies of the cross of Christ:

Jesus Weeps over Jerusalem

⁴¹ Now as He drew near, He saw the city and ^(A)wept over it, ⁴² saying, “If you had known, even you, especially in this ^(B)your day, the things that ^(C)make for your ^(D)peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes. ⁴³ For days will come upon you when your enemies will ^(E)build an embankment around you, surround you and close you in on every side, ^44 (F)and level you, and your children within you, to the ground; and ^(G)they will not leave in you one stone upon another, ^(H)because you did not know the time of your visitation.”

Israel Needs the Gospel

10 Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for ^[a]Israel is that they may be saved.

⁴ and the Lord said to him, “Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and put ^(A)a mark on the foreheads of the men ^(B)who sigh and cry over all the abominations that are done within it.”

Disobedience Brings God’s Judgment
