That day had come to Jerusalem. Jesus wept in anguish over the doomed city, but He could not deliver her. He had exhausted every resource. In rejecting the warnings of God's Spirit, Israel had rejected the only means of help. There was no other power by which they could be delivered.

Jerusalem var nået til denne dag. Jesus græd i sin smerte over denne by, der var viet til undergang, men han kunne ikke frelse den. Han havde opbrugt alle hjælpekilder. Ved at forkaste Guds Ånds advarsler havde Israel forkastet det eneste middel til at få hjælp. Der fandtes ingen anden magt, hvorved de kunne udfries.
