Luke 19:41-44

Jesus Weeps over Jerusalem

41 And when he approached [and] saw the city, he wept over it,

42 saying, "If you had known on this day--even you--the things [that make] for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.

43 For days will come upon you and your enemies will put up an embankment against you, and will surround you and press you hard from all directions.

44 And they will raze you to the ground, [you] and your children within you, and will not leave a stone upon a stone within you, {because} you did not recognize the time of your visitation."
