112 And notwithstanding they being led, the Lord their God, their Redeemer, going before them, leading them by day and giving light unto them by night, and doing all things for them which were expedient for man to receive, they hardened their hearts, and blinded their minds, and reviled against Moses and against the true and living God.
113 And it came to pass that according to his word, he did destroy them;
114 And according to his word, he did lead them;
115 And according to his word, he did do all things for them;
116 And there was not anything done, save it were by his word.
117 And after they had crossed the river Jordan, he did make them mighty, unto the driving out the children of the land, yea, unto the scattering them to destruction.
118 And now do ye suppose that the children of this land, who were in the land of promise, who were driven out by our fathers, do ye suppose that they were righteous? Behold, I say unto you, Nay.
119 Do ye suppose that our fathers would have been more choice than they, if they had been righteous?
