"O
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones God's
messengers! How often I have wanted to gather your children together as
a hen protects her chicks beneath her wings, but you wouldn't let me.
And now, look, your house is abandoned. And you will never see me again
until you say, 'Blessings on the one who comes in the name of the LORD!'
" (see also Matthew 23:37-39)
"And now, look, your house is abandoned."

The holy and beautiful Temple where our ancestors praised you has been burned down, and all the things of beauty are destroyed.

Jeremiah 22:5 " 'But if you refuse to pay attention to this warning, I swear by my own name, says the LORD, that this palace will become a pile of rubble.' " (see verses 1-9)
Luke 19:41-44 But as he (Jesus) came closer to Jerusalem and saw the city ahead, he began to weep. "How I wish today that you of all people would understand the way to peace. But now it is too late, and peace is hidden from your eyes. Before long your enemies will build ramparts against your walls and encircle you and close in on you from every side. They will crush you into the ground, and your children with you. Your enemies will not leave a single stone in place, because you did not accept your opportunity for salvation."
"And you will never see me again until you say, 'Blessings on the one who comes in the name of the LORD!' "
