34 ^qO Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that ^rkills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often would I have gathered your children together as a ^shen gathers her brood under her wings, and ^tyou were not willing! 35 Behold, your house is forsaken. And I tell you, you will not see me until you say, ^u‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!’”

Lament over Jerusalem

37 ^d“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that ^ekills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often would I have gathered your children together as a ^fhen gathers her brood under her wings, and ^gyou were not willing! 38 See, your house is left to you ^hdesolate. 39 For I tell you, you will not see me again, until you say, ⁱ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’”

Jesus Weeps over Jerusalem

41 And when he drew near and saw the city, he ^uwept over it, 42 saying, “Would that you, even you, had known on this day the things that make for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes. 43 For the days will come upon you, when your enemies will set up a ^vbarricade around you and surround you and hem you in on every side 44 and tear you down to the ground, you and your children within you. And they will ^wnot leave one stone upon another in you, ^xbecause you did not know the time of your visitation.”
