Israel was arrogant, and kept turning away from God, knowing well what the consequences would be.
Jesus said: O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! (in Luke 13:34)
Now Israel is humbled, and are saying "Because of this our hearts are faint, because of these thigns our eyes grow dim". They are suffering.
Jesus has twice found me, after I turned away. So in a sense I'm like Israel.
My arrogance struck again. I don't like how these wings of the Hen feels like at the moment.
Remember, O Lord, what has happened to me. Be gentle for I am weak.
