36. I can promise that you people living today will be punished for all these things!
37. Jerusalem, Jerusalem! Your people have killed the prophets and have stoned the messengers who were sent to you. I have often wanted to gather your people, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings. But you wouldn't let me.
38. And now your temple will be deserted.
39. You won't see me again until you say,“Blessed is the one who comesin the name of the Lord.”
