2 Esdras 1:29
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?30. I gathered you together, as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings: but now, what shall I do unto you? I will cast you out from my face.
