Original text and translations

Latin text

Jerusalem, quæ occidis prophetas,
et lapidas eos qui mittuntur ad te,
quoties volui congregare filios tuos,
quemadmodum avis nidum suum sub pennis, et noluisti?

Ecce relinquetur vobis domus vestra deserta.
Dico autem vobis quia non videbitis me,
donec veniat cum dicetis:
Benedictus, qui venit in nomine Domini.
