Strong's King James
(37) Jerusalem! Jerusalem! Killing the prophets and stoning those sent to her! How many times I wanted to gather together your children, the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but no, unwilling!
The F.O.G*
[37] "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones God's messengers! How often I have longed to gather your children together as a hen protects her chicks beneath her wings, but you wouldn't let Me."
The F.O.G Paraphrase
‘Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that art killing the prophets, and stoning those sent unto thee, how often did I will to gather thy children together, as a hen doth gather her own chickens under the wings, and ye did not will.
