"Oh how I long to gather the children of Jerusalem as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings.1 Yet they reject me."
"But these women weep for me, and my heart mourns for them. For I have seen their future, the future of all mankind, I feel their pain and suffering that is to come."
"Who will mourn for them? Who will comfort them? Who will show compassion for them?"
“Will you?"
"Will you show mercy even when you want to snap at those who hurt you with their ridicule? Will you show compassion for those who misunderstand or hinder you with misguided helpfulness? Will you curb your tongue even when they intrude upon your privacy?”

and you will find rest for your soul.”2
