“오 이 크고 두려운 날 이전에 우리가 회개하였더라면”

언급구절

• 3 Nephi 8:23–25

  And it came to pass that it did last for the space of three days that there was no light seen; and there was great mourning and howling and weeping among all the people continually; yea, great were the groanings of the people, because of the darkness and the great destruction which had come upon them. And in one place they were heard to cry, saying:

  “O that we had repented before this great and terrible day, and then would our brethren have been spared, and they would not have been burned in that great city Zarahemla.”

  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.”

  And thus were the howlings of the people great and terrible.
