But now hthey are hidden from your eyes. 43For ithe days will come upon you, when your enemies jwill set up a barricade around you and ksurround you and hem you in on every side 44 land tear you down to the ground, you and your children within you. And mthey will not leave one stone upon another in you, because you did not know nthe time of your ovisitation.”2 Corinthians 6:2
