Thus says The Lord: The walls of Jerusalem are fallen! The high walls crumble and are broken down! The people are given into the hands of their enemies, those who murder without cause! Blood fills the streets as the women wail over the dead, pouring out drink offerings upon the ground! My people are taken captive, and those who walk free are surrounded on every side, with no place to flee! By two and by three, the enemies enter in through the cracks; in droves they gather outside the city, that they might break down the gates!... Jerusalem, O Jerusalem, why have you forsaken Me?!
Even to this day, O Israel, you have not ceased from walking in the ways of your forefathers, stoning My prophets in word and by deed, seeking always to kill or imprison those sent to you. Have I not gathered you with a mighty hand from among the nations, restoring you to your own land, even granting you great increase? Yet you do not embrace Me, for you yet push out the hand against My Holy One; you refuse to drink from His cup.

How long shall you seek to murder your King?!
How long will you deny The Way I have set before you?!
How long shall you blaspheme The Truth,
Which I sent into the world to testify?!...
YOU HAVE FORSAKEN LIFE!
You refuse the blood I poured out for you!...
You refuse the blood I poured out for you!...
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, how long will you
Let His blood drip from your fingers?!
Let His blood drip from your fingers?!
