Luke 19:41-44

41 When He approached Jerusalem, He saw the city and ¹wept over it,

42 saying, "If you had known in this day, 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 when your enemies will ²throw up a barricade against you, and ³surround you and hem you in on every side,

44 and they will level you to the ground and your children within you, and ⁴they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because * you did not recognize ⁵the time of your visitation."
