Luke 19:40-44
New American Standard Bible
41When He approached Jerusalem, He saw the city and wept over it,
42saying, 'If you had known on this day, even you, the conditions for peace! But now they have been hidden from your eyes.
43For 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,
44and 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.'
King James Version
Chapter 19
40And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out. 41And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, 42Saying, 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. 43For 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, 44And 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.Christian Standard Bible

43For the days will come on you when your enemies will build a barricade around you, surround you, and hem you in on every side.
44They will crush you and your children among you to the ground, and they will not leave one stone on another in your midst, because you did not recognize the time when God visited you."
