O ye people of these great cities which have fallen,

who are descendants of Jacob,

yea, who are of the house of Israel,

as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings,

and have nourished you.

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.

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.
