30saying, "Go into the villageahead of you; there, as you enter, you will find a colttied on whichnooneyet has eversat ; untie it and bring it here.31"Ifanyoneasks you, 'Why are you untying it?' you shall say, 'The Lordhasneed of it.' "32Sothose who were sentwentaway and found it just as He had told them.

42saying, "If you had known in thisday, even you, the things which make for peace ! But now they have been hidden from your eyes.43"For the days will come upon you fwhen your enemies will 15throw up a gbarricade against you, and 16surround you and hem you in on everyside,44and they will level you to the ground and your childrenwithin you, and 17they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not recognize18the time of your visitation."
