# Connecting Statement:

Jesus mourns over the people of Jerusalem because they reject every messenger that God sends to them.

# Jerusalem, Jerusalem

Jesus speaks to the people of Jerusalem as though they were the city itself. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-apostrophe]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])

# those who are sent to you

This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "those whom God sends to you" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]])

# your children

Jesus is speaking to Jerusalem as if it is a woman and the people are her children. Alternate translation: "your people" or "your inhabitants" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])

# just as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings

This is a simile that emphasizes Jesus's love for the people and how he wanted to take care of them. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-simile]])

# hen

a female chicken. You can translate with any bird that protects her children under her wing. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/translate-unknown]])
