2 Esdras 1:28-30
Revised Standard Version
28 “Thus says the Lord Almighty: Have I not entreated you as a father entreats his sons or a mother her daughters or a nurse her children, 29 that you should be my people and I should be your God, and that you should be my sons and I should be your father? 30 I gathered you as a hen gathers her brood under her wings. But now, what shall I do to you? I will cast you out from my presence.
