"O
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones God's
messengers! How often I have wanted to gather your children together as
a hen protects her chicks beneath her wings, but you wouldn't let me.
And now, look, your house is abandoned. And you will never see me again
until you say, 'Blessings on the one who comes in the name of the LORD!'
" (see also Matthew 23:37-39)
