to cast a vote against the one who has sinned, each of the onlookers does not spare, does not look sad, does not pity, does not return to intercede for peace with such a person. Let this Jerusalem, then (for so it will be called according to the letter), have sinned against my Jesus, and let her have done such things that Jesus might say about her: “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those sent to her, how often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing. Behold, your house is left to you.” Let this Jerusalem be left behind as she has been left behind. Let the angels who always help Jerusalem, through whom the law of Moses was also ordained, "ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator," leave Jerusalem and say: Her sins have become great, they killed Jesus, they have laid their hands on the Christ. As long as the sins were still smaller, we could still ask and intercede for them, we could spare Jerusalem; who will spare her for this? “If a man sinning sins against a man, they will also pray for him; but if he sins against the Lord, who will pray for him?” “Jerusalem has sinned a sin, therefore she has been shaken;” and it is said to her first: “Who will spare you, Jerusalem? And who will look sad for you?” We do not look sad for Jerusalem and for her calamities and for what has happened to all that people; “for by their fall salvation has come to us, in order to make them jealous.” And <since> their fall became so great a sin <that it was said by the voice of the Lord:> “Who then will spare you, Jerusalem,” I too say to the one that killed my Jesus: “Who will spare you, Jerusalem? And who will look sad for you?” 13.2 I pass from the letter, although I had a path, which the Word gave, to every soul now deemed worthy of seeing the peace; for after the divine lessons you became Jerusalem, you who were formerly Jebus. <History says that the name of that place was Jebus>, but secondly it changed its name and became Jerusalem. The children of the Hebrews say that Jebus is interpreted as Trodden Down. Jebus, then, the soul Trodden Down by opposing powers, has changed and become Jerusalem, a Vision of peace. If then, when you changed from Jebus to become Jerusalem, you sinned and “trampled underfoot the son of God and regarded the blood of the new covenant as common (as she and you did)” and have been in grievous sins, it will also be said of you: “Who will spare you, Jerusalem?” “And who will look sad for you,” if you become such a one as to betray Jesus? Each of us, when sinning, and especially if it is a greater sin, sins against Jesus. But if he is also an apostate, he especially does to Jesus spiritually what Jerusalem did to him physically. Therefore “of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace?” If you have trampled underfoot the son of God and insulted the spirit of grace, who “will spare you? Who will look sad for you? Who will turn back to ask for the things that make for your peace?” The soul of the sinner has betrayed the very Son of God who asked for you the things that make for peace; who is able to return again and intercede for peace? Knowing therefore that “it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, and have fallen away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame,” let us do everything, so that it may not also be said of us, “Who will spare you, Jerusalem? And who will look sad for you? Or who will turn back to ask for peace for you?” 13.3 And to each interpretation of Jerusalem
