had been slain; therefore there was silence in all the land for
the space of many hours.

3 Nephi 10:3
3 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:

3 Nephi 10:4
4 O ye people of these great cities which have fallen, who are
descendants of Jacob, yea, who are of the house of Israel, how

wings, and have nourished you.

3 Nephi 10:5
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
