2 Esdras 1:28
27. Ye have not as it were forsaken me, but your own selves, saith the Lord.28. Thus saith the Almighty Lord, Have I not prayed you as a father his sons, as a mother her daughters, and a nurse her young babes,29. That ye would be my people, and I should be your God; that ye would be my children, and I should be your father?
