How often would I have ^(C)gathered ^(D)your children together ^(E)as a hen gathers her brood ^(F)under her wings, and ^(G)you were not willing! ³⁸ See, ^(H)your house is left to you desolate. ³⁹ For I tell you, you will not see me again, until you say, ^(I)‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’”

^34 (A)O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that ^(B)kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! ^(C)How often would I have ^(D)gathered ^(E)your children together ^(F)as a hen gathers her brood ^(G)under her wings, and ^(H)you were not willing! ³⁵ Behold, ^(I)your house is forsaken. And I tell you, you will not see me until you say, ^(J)‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!’”
