From BibleWiki
44: και εδαφιουσιν σε και τα τεκνα σου εν σοι και ουκ αφησουσιν εν σοι λιθον επι λιθω ανθ ων ουκ εγνως τον καιρον της επισκοπης σου
44: And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children
within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon
another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.
44: And beat thee flat to the ground, and thy children who are in
thee. And they shall not leave in thee a stone upon a stone: because
thou hast not known the time of thy visitation.
Shall lay thee even with the ground, &c. This was literally done.

See "Mt 24:1, and following. All this was done, says Christ,
because Jerusalem knew not the time of its visitation -- that is, did
not know, and would not know, that the Messiah had come. His coming
was the time of their merciful visitation. That time had been predicted,
and invaluable blessings promised as the result of his advent; but they
would not know it. They rejected him, they put him to death, and it was
just that they should be destroyed.
