3 Nephi 4:55 And it came to pass that there came a voice again unto the people - and all the people did hear and did witness of it - saying: "O ye people of these great cities which have fallen, which are a descendant of Jacob, yea, which are of the house of Israel, O ye people of the house of Israel, How oft have I gathered you as a
hen gathereth her chickens under her wings and have nourished you.
3 Nephi 4:56 "And again - How oft would I have gathered you as a
hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, Yea, O ye people of the house of Israel which have fallen,
3 Nephi 4:57 Yea, O ye people of the house of Israel, ye that dwell at Jerusalem, as ye that have fallen; Yea, how oft would I have gathered you as a
hen gathereth her chickens, And ye would not.
3 Nephi 4:58 "O ye house of Israel whom I have spared, How oft will I gather you as a
hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, if ye will repent and return unto Me with full purpose of heart;
