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