CHAPTER 11

3 And it came to pass that while they were thus conversing one with another, they heard a ^avoice as if it came out of heaven; and they cast their eyes round about, for they understood not the voice which they heard; and it was not a harsh voice, neither was it a loud voice; nevertheless, and notwithstanding it being a ^bsmall voice it did ^cpierce them that did hear to the center, insomuch that there was no part of their frame that it did not cause to quake; yea, it did pierce them to the very soul, and did cause their hearts to burn.

Footnotes

3a	Deut. 4: 33. 33 Did ever people ^ahear the ^bvoice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live? Ezek. 1: 24. 24 And when they went, I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of great waters, as the ^avoice of the Almighty, the voice of speech, as the noise of an host: when they stood, they let down their wings. Hel. 5: 29 (28-36). 29 And it came to pass that there came a ^avoice as if it were above the cloud of darkness, saying: Repent ye, repent ye, and seek no more to destroy my ^bservants whom I have sent unto you to declare good tidings.
b	1 Kgs. 19: 12 (11-13). 12 And after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a ^astill small ^bvoice. D&C 85: 6. 6 Yea, thus saith the ^astill small voice, which whispereth through and ^bpierceth all things, and often times it maketh my bones to quake while it maketh manifest, saying:
c	1 Sam. 3: 11. 11 ¶ And the Lord said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall ^atingle. Jer. 20: 9. 9 Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a ^aburning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not ^bstay.
