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 chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

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

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

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