36 I tell you the truth. All of these things will happen to you people who are living now.
37 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem! You kill the prophets and kill with stones those men God sent to you. Many times I wanted to help your people! I wanted to gather them together as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings. But you did not let me.
38 Now your home will be left completely empty.
39 I tell you, you will not see me again until that time when you will say, ‘God bless the One who comes in the name of the Lord.’”
