Lament Over Jerusalem and Final Prophecy

34

`Because of this, lo, I send to you prophets, and wise men, and scribes, and of them ye will kill and crucify, and of them ye will scourge in your synagogues, and will pursue from city to city;

35

that on you may come all the righteous blood being poured out on the earth from the blood of Abel the righteous, unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the sanctuary and the altar:

36

verily I say to you, all these things shall come upon this generation.

37

`Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that art killing the prophets, and stoning those sent unto thee, how often did I will to gather thy children together, as a hen doth gather her own chickens under the wings, and ye did not will.

38

Lo, left desolate to you is your house;

39

for I say to you, ye may not see me henceforth, till ye may say, Blessed is he who is coming in the name of the Lord.'
