Exegesis
The causal phrase anth hon {ἀνθʼ ὧν | anth hō̂n} ‘because of which’ introduces the reason clause, where the negated aorist verb egnōs {ἔγνως | égnōs} ‘you recognized’ governs the object phrase ton kairon tēs episkopēs sou {τὸν καιρόν τῆς ἐπισκοπῆς σου | tòn kairón tēs episkopḗs sou} ‘the time of your visitation’, with kairos indicating an appointed, critical moment and episkopēs denoting a deliberate visitation personalized by the genitive pronoun sou.

And they will level you and your children within you, and they will not leave one stone upon another in you, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation .
