Luke 19:41-44

Jesus Weeps over Jerusalem

41 ¹And when he drew near and saw the city, ²he wept over it,

42 saying, ³"Would that you, even you, had known on this day the things that make for peace! But now ⁴they are hidden from your eyes.

43 For ⁵the days will come upon you, when your enemies ⁶will set up a barricade around you and ⁷surround you and hem you in on every side

44 ⁸and tear you down to the ground, you and your children within you. And ⁹they will not leave one stone upon another in you, because you did not know ¹⁰the time of your ¹¹visitation."
