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!
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, þat sleest profetis, and stonest hem þat ben sent to þee, hou ofte wolde Y gadre togider thi sones, as a brid gaderith his nest vndur fethris, and thou woldist not.
