And in another place they were heard to cry and mourn, saying:

O that we had repented before this great and terrible day,

and had not killed and stoned the prophets, and cast them out;

then would our mothers and our fair daughters, and our children have been spared,

and not have been buried up in that great city Moronihah.

3 Nephi 10:5

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, who have fallen;

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.
