42saying, “If you knew this day what would bring peace ​--​but now it is hidden from your eyes.42saying, "If you had only known on this day, even you, the things that make for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.
43For the days will come on you when your enemies will build a barricade around you, surround you, and hem you in on every side.43For the days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and surround you and close in on you from every side.
