⁴¹ And when he drew nigh, he saw the city and wept over it,

³⁵ Jesus wept.

³⁴ O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killeth the prophets, and stoneth them that are sent unto her! how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen `gathereth' her own brood under her wings, and ye would not!

³⁵ Behold, your house is left unto you `desolate': and I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

¹⁶ As for me, I have not hastened from being a shepherd after thee; neither have I desired the woeful day; thou knowest: that which came out of my lips was before thy face.

¹⁷ But if ye will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret for `your' pride; and mine eye shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because Jehovah's flock is taken captive.

² that I have great sorrow and unceasing pain in my heart.

³ For I could wish that I myself were anathema from Christ for my brethren's sake, my kinsmen according to the flesh:

⁸ How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? `how' shall I cast thee off, Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? `how' shall I set thee as Zeboiim? my heart is turned within me, my compassions are kindled together.

¹ Oh that my head were waters, and mine eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people!

¹⁵⁸ I beheld the treacherous, and was grieved, Because they observe not thy word.

¹³⁶ Streams of water run down mine eyes, Because they observe not thy law.

⁵³ Hot indignation hath taken hold upon me, Because of the wicked that forsake thy law.
