³⁷ “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. ³⁸And now, look, your house is abandoned and desolate.#23:38 Some manuscripts do not include and desolate. ³⁹For I tell you this, you will never see me again until you say, ‘Blessings on the one who comes in the name of the Lord!’#23:39 Ps 118:26.”
