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

And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,

saying, "If you had known on this day, even you, the conditions for peace! But now they have been hidden from your eyes.

Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.

"For the days will come upon you when your enemies will put up a barricade against you, and surround you and hem you in on every side,

For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,

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

And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.
