Matthew 23:37

[After the seven verses, verses 13-36, Jesus concludes his speech in the temple courtyard with the following words:] "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem [the repetition of the name describes a strong emotional attachment]. You who habitually murder the prophets and stone those who are sent to you (as messengers)! How many times have I wanted (longed to) gather (protect) your children, as a hen gathers (protects, warms) her chicks under her wings, but you have refused.
