O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killeth the prophets, and stoneth them that are sent unto her! how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her own brood under her wings, and ye would not!

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, putting to death the prophets, and stoning those who were sent to her! again and again would I have taken your children to myself, as a bird takes her young ones under her wings, but you would not!

Ιερουσαλημ, Ιερουσαλημ, η φονευουσα τους προφητας και λιθοβολουσα τους απεσταλμενους προς αυτην, ποσακις ηθελησα να συναξω τα τεκνα σου καθ' ον τροπον η ορνις τα ορνιθια εαυτης υπο τας πτερυγας, και δεν ηθελησατε.

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not!
