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;
59 But if not, O house of Israel, The place of your dwellings shall become desolate until the time of the fulfilling of the covenant to your fathers."
60 And now it came to pass that after the people had heard these words, Behold, they began to weep and howl again because of the loss of their kindreds and friends.
61 And it came to pass that thus did the three days pass away.
62 And it was in the morning, And the darkness did pass from off the face of the land, And the earth did cease to tremble, And the rocks did cease to rend, And the dreadful groanings did cease, And all the tumultuous noises did pass away,
63 And the earth did cleave together again that it stood; And the mourning and the weeping and the wailing of the people which were spared alive did cease,
64 And their mourning was turned into joy, And their lamentations into the praise and the thanksgiving unto the Lord Jesus Christ their Redeemer.
65 And thus far were the scriptures fulfilled which had been spoken by the prophets;
66 And it was the more righteous part of the people which were saved, And it was they which received the prophets and stoned them not, And it was they which had not shed the blood of the saints which were spared;
67 And they were spared and were not sunk and buried up in the earth; And they were not drowned in the depths of the sea; And they were not burned by fire, Neither were they fallen upon and crushed to death;
68 And they were not carried away in the whirlwind, Neither were they overpowered by the vapor of smoke and of darkness.
