Jesus’ Lamentation over Jerusalem

37 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem!(A) She who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her. How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks(a) under her wings, yet you were not willing!(B) 38 See, your house is left to you desolate.(C) 39 For I tell you, you will never see Me again until you say, ‘He who comes in the name of the Lord is the blessed One’!”(D)(b)
