Title Page 1:Intro THE BOOK OF MORMON An account written by the hand of Mormon upon plates taken from the plates of Nephi.

1 Nephi 1:5 And it came to pass as he prayed unto the Lord there came a pillar of fire and dwelt upon a rock before him, And he saw and heard much; And because of the things which he saw and heard, he did quake and tremble exceedingly.

1 Nephi 1:6 And it came to pass that he returned to his own house at Jerusalem and he cast himself upon his bed, being overcome with the Spirit and the things which he had seen;

1 Nephi 1:7 And being thus overcome with the Spirit, he was carried away in a vision, even that he saw the heavens open, And he thought he saw God sitting upon His throne surrounded with numberless concourses of angels in the attitude of singing and praising their God.

1 Nephi 1:9 And he also saw twelve others following Him, And their brightness did exceed that of the stars in the firmament; And they came down and went forth upon the face of the earth.

1 Nephi 1:17 Behold, I make an abridgment of the record of my father upon plates which I have made with mine own hands; Wherefore, after that I have abridged the record of my father, then will I make an account of mine own life.

1 Nephi 1:61 For behold, Laban hath the record of the Jews, and also a genealogy of my forefathers, And they are engraven upon plates of brass;

1 Nephi 1:69 And it came to pass that the lot fell upon Laman; And Laman went in unto the house of Laban and he talked with him as he sat in his house;

1 Nephi 1:70 And he desired of Laban the records which were engraven upon the plates of brass which contained the genealogy of my father.

1 Nephi 1:87 And it came to pass that we went in unto Laban and desired him that he would give unto us the records which were engraven upon the plates of brass, For which we would give unto him our gold and our silver and all our precious things.

1 Nephi 1:118 And I also knew that the law was engraven upon the plates of brass.

1 Nephi 1:121 And after that I had smote off his own head with his own sword, I took the garments of Laban and put them upon mine own body, yea, even every whit, And I did gird on his armor about my loins;

1 Nephi 1:127 And I also spake unto him that I should carry the engravings which were upon the plates of brass to my elder brethren which were without the wall.

1 Nephi 1:135 And now I, Nephi, being a man large in stature, and also having received much strength of the Lord, Therefore, I did seize upon the servant of Laban and held him that he should not flee.

1 Nephi 1:158 And after that they had given thanks unto the God of Israel, my father Lehi took the records which were engraven upon the plates of brass and he did search them from the beginning;

1 Nephi 1:164 And it came to pass that my father Lehi also found upon the plates of brass a genealogy of his fathers;

1 Nephi 2:1 And now I, Nephi, do not give the genealogy of my fathers in this part of my record, Neither at any time shall I give it after upon these plates which I am writing, for it is given in the record which has been kept by my father; Wherefore, I do not write it in this work,

1 Nephi 2:3 And it mattereth not to me that I am particular to give a full account of all the things of my father, for they cannot be written upon these plates, for I desire the room that I may write of the things of God,

1 Nephi 2:27 And it came to pass that they did lay their hands upon me, for behold, they were exceeding wroth; And they did bind me with cords, for they sought to take away my life that they might leave me in the wilderness to be devoured by wild beasts.

1 Nephi 2:31 And it came to pass that they were angry with me again and sought to lay hands upon me;

1 Nephi 2:92 And all these things did my father see and hear and speak as he dwelt in a tent in the Valley of Lemuel, And also a great many more things which cannot be written upon these plates.

1 Nephi 2:93 And now as I have spoken concerning these plates, behold, they are not the plates upon which I make a full account of the history of my people,

1 Nephi 2:94 For the plates upon which I make a full account of my people I have given the name of Nephi;

1 Nephi 2:97 And upon the other plates should be engraven an account of the reigns of the kings and the wars and contentions of my people;

1 Nephi 3:1 And now I, Nephi, proceed to give an account upon these plates of my proceedings and my reign and ministry; Wherefore, to proceed with mine account I must speak somewhat of the things of my father, and also of my brethren.

1 Nephi 3:16 Yea, even my father spake much concerning the Gentiles, and also concerning the house of Israel - That they should be compared like unto an olive tree whose branches should be broken off and should be scattered upon all the face of the earth;

1 Nephi 3:17 Wherefore, he said it must needs be that we should be led with one accord into the Land of Promise, unto the fulfilling of the word of the Lord that we should be scattered upon all the face of the earth;

1 Nephi 3:38 Wherefore, as I sat pondering in mine heart, I was caught away in the Spirit of the Lord, yea, into an exceeding high mountain, A mountain which I never had before seen and upon which I never had before sat my foot.

1 Nephi 3:51 And it came to pass that He said unto me: "Look!" And I looked as if to look upon Him and I saw Him not, for He had gone from before my presence.

1 Nephi 3:74 And after that He was baptized, I beheld the heavens open and the Holy Ghost came down out of heaven and abode upon Him in the form of a dove;

1 Nephi 3:81 And I saw angels descending upon the children of men, And they did minister unto them.

1 Nephi 3:87 And I, Nephi, saw that He was lifted up upon the cross and slain for the sins of the world;

1 Nephi 3:113 And I also saw and bear record that the Holy Ghost fell upon twelve others, And they were ordained of God and chosen.

1 Nephi 3:130 And it came to pass that I beheld and saw the people of the seed of my brethren, that they had overcome my seed; And they went forth in multitudes upon the face of the land;

1 Nephi 3:146 And it came to pass that the angel saith unto me: "Behold, the wrath of God is upon the seed of thy brethren!"

1 Nephi 3:147 And I looked and beheld a man among the Gentiles which were separated from the seed of my brethren by the many waters; And I beheld the Spirit of God, that it came down and wrought upon the man, And he went forth upon the many waters, even unto the seed of my brethren which were in the Promised Land.

1 Nephi 3:148 And it came to pass that I beheld the Spirit of God, that it wrought upon other Gentiles; And they went forth out of captivity upon the many waters.

1 Nephi 3:149 And it came to pass that I beheld many multitudes of Gentiles upon the Land of Promise;

1 Nephi 3:150 And I beheld the wrath of God, that it was upon the seed of my brethren, And they were scattered before the Gentiles and they were smitten;

1 Nephi 3:151 And I beheld the Spirit of the Lord, that it was upon the Gentiles, that they did prosper and obtain the land for their inheritance; And I beheld that they were white and exceeding fair and beautiful, like unto my people before that they were slain.

1 Nephi 3:153 And I beheld that their mother Gentiles were gathered together upon the waters, and upon the land also, to battle against them;

1 Nephi 3:154 And I beheld that the power of God was with them, And also that the wrath of God was upon all those that were gathered together against them to battle;

1 Nephi 3:163 And it is a record like unto the engravings which are upon the plates of brass, save there are not so many, Nevertheless, they contain the covenants of the Lord which He hath made unto the house of Israel;

1 Nephi 3:176 "Nevertheless, thou beholdest that the Gentiles which have gone forth out of captivity and have been lifted up above by the power of God above all other nations upon the face of the land - Which is choice above all other lands,

1 Nephi 3:189 Yea, whoso shall publish peace, that shall publish tidings of great joy, how beautiful upon the mountains shall they be! '"

1 Nephi 3:191 And after it had come forth unto them, I beheld other books which came forth by the power of the Lamb from the Gentiles unto them, Unto the convincing of the Gentiles and the remnant of the seed of my brethren, And also to the Jews which were scattered upon all the face of the earth, That the records of the prophets and of the twelve apostles of the Lamb are true.

1 Nephi 3:203 And they shall be a blessed people upon the Promised Land forever;

1 Nephi 3:209 For behold, this is according to the captivity of the devil, And also according to the justice of God upon all those who will work wickedness and abomination before Him."

1 Nephi 3:224 And it came to pass that I looked and beheld the whore of all the earth; And she sat upon many waters;

1 Nephi 3:226 And it came to pass that I beheld the church of the Lamb of God, And its numbers were few because of the wickedness and abominations of the whore which sat upon many waters;

1 Nephi 3:227 Nevertheless, I beheld that the church of the Lamb, which were the saints of God, were also upon all the face of the earth,

1 Nephi 3:228 And their dominion upon the face of the earth was small because of the wickedness of the great whore which I saw.

1 Nephi 3:229 And it came to pass that I beheld that the great mother of abominations did gather together in multitudes upon the face of all the earth among all the nations of the Gentiles to fight against the Lamb of God.

1 Nephi 3:230 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, beheld the power of the Lamb of God, that it descended upon the saints of the church of the Lamb and upon the covenant people of the Lord which were scattered upon all the face of the earth;

1 Nephi 3:232 And it came to pass that I beheld that the wrath of God was poured out upon that great and abominable church insomuch that there were wars and rumors of wars among all the nations and kindreds of the earth;

1 Nephi 3:234 "Behold, the wrath of God is upon the mother of harlots;

1 Nephi 3:236 And when the day cometh that the wrath of God is poured out upon the mother of harlots, which is the great and abominable church of all the earth, whose founder is the devil,

1 Nephi 5:11 And it came to pass that as my father arose in the morning and went forth to the tent door, and to his great astonishment he beheld upon the ground a round ball of curious workmanship and it was of fine brass;

1 Nephi 5:32 And it came to pass that the voice of the Lord said unto him: "Look upon the ball and behold the things which are written!"

1 Nephi 5:33 And it came to pass that when my father beheld the things which were written upon the ball, he did fear and tremble exceedingly, And also my brethren and the sons of Ishmael and our wives.

1 Nephi 5:35 And there was also written upon them a new writing which was plain to be read, which did give us understanding concerning the ways of the Lord; And it was written and changed from time to time according to the faith and diligence which we gave unto it.

1 Nephi 5:37 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, did go forth up into the top of the mountain according to the directions which were given upon the ball.

1 Nephi 5:48 And Laman saith unto Lemuel, and also unto the sons of Ishmael: "Behold, let us slay our father, and also our brother Nephi who hath taken it upon him to be our ruler and our teacher, who are his elder brethren.

1 Nephi 5:57 And so great were the blessings of the Lord upon us that while we did live upon raw meat in the wilderness, our women did give plenty of suck for their children and were strong, yea, even like unto the men; And they began to bear their journeyings without murmuring.

1 Nephi 5:123 But behold, this people had rejected every word of God, And they were ripe in iniquity, And the fullness of the wrath of God was upon them;

1 Nephi 5:154 And as they came forth to lay their hands upon me, I spake unto them, saying: "In the name of the Almighty God I command you that ye touch me not, for I am filled with the power of God even unto the consuming of my flesh;

1 Nephi 5:155 And whoso shall lay their hands upon me shall wither even as a dried weed, And he shall be as naught before the power of God, for God shall smite him."

1 Nephi 5:161 Neither durst they lay their hands upon me nor touch me with their fingers, even for the space of many days;

1 Nephi 5:162 Now they durst not do this lest they should wither before me, so powerful was the Spirit of God; And thus it had wrought upon them.

1 Nephi 5:192 And we were driven back upon the waters for the space of three days;

1 Nephi 5:197 And after that we had been driven back upon the waters for the space of four days, my brethren began to see that the judgments of God were upon them and that they must perish save that they should repent of their iniquities;

1 Nephi 5:198 Wherefore, they came unto me and loosed the bands which were upon my wrists; And behold, they had much swollen exceedingly, And also mine ankles were much swollen, and great was the soreness thereof;

1 Nephi 5:201 And my parents, being stricken in years and having suffered much grief because of their children, they were brought down, yea, even upon their sickbeds;

1 Nephi 5:213 And we went forth upon the land and did pitch our tents, And we did call it the Promised Land.

1 Nephi 5:216 And it came to pass that we did find upon the Land of Promise, as we journeyed in the wilderness, That there were beasts in the forests of every kind - both the cow and the ox, and the ass and the horse, and the goat and the wild goat, And all manner of wild animals which were for the use of men;

1 Nephi 5:218 And it came to pass that the Lord commanded me, wherefore I did make plates of ore, that I might engraven upon them the record of my people;

1 Nephi 5:219 And upon the plates which I made I did engraven the record of my father, and also our journeyings in the wilderness and the prophecies of my father; And also many of mine own prophecies have I engraven upon them.

1 Nephi 5:221 Wherefore, the record of my father and the genealogy of his forefathers and the more part of all our proceedings in the wilderness are engraven upon those first plates of which I have spoken;

1 Nephi 5:222 Wherefore, the things which transpired before that I made these plates are, of a truth, more particularly made mention upon the first plates.

1 Nephi 5:223 And after that I made these plates by way of commandment, I, Nephi, received a commandment that the ministry and the prophecies - the more plain and precious parts of them - should be written upon these plates;

1 Nephi 5:225 Wherefore, I, Nephi, did make a record upon the other plates which gives an account, or which gives a greater account, of the wars and contentions and destructions of my people;

1 Nephi 5:229 Nevertheless, I do not write anything upon plates save it be that I think it be sacred;

1 Nephi 5:238 Yea, they spit upon Him, and He suffereth it - Because of His loving-kindness and His long-suffering toward the children of men.

1 Nephi 5:250 And because of the groanings of the earth, many of the kings of the isles of the sea shall be wrought upon by the Spirit of God to exclaim, 'The God of nature suffers! '

1 Nephi 5:264 Wherefore, it must needs be that we know concerning them, for they are written upon the plates of brass.

1 Nephi 6:2 And it came to pass that I did read many things to them which were engraven upon the plates of brass, that they might know concerning the doings of the Lord in other lands among people of old;

1 Nephi 6:9 Nevertheless, they call themselves of the holy city, But they do not stay themselves upon the God of Israel, which is the Lord of Hosts - Yea, the Lord of Hosts is His name:

1 Nephi 6:21 "All ye, assemble yourselves and hear! Which among them hath declared these things unto them? The Lord hath loved him. Yea, and He will fulfill His word which He hath declared by them. And He will do His pleasure on Babylon, And His arm shall come upon the Chaldeans."

1 Nephi 6:43 Sing, O heavens! and be joyful, O earth! For the feet of them which are in the east shall be established. And break forth into singing, O mountains! For they shall be smitten no more. For the Lord hath comforted His people and will have mercy upon His afflicted.

1 Nephi 6:46 Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of My hands; Thy walls are continually before Me.

1 Nephi 6:52 Thus saith the Lord God: "Behold, I will lift up Mine hand to the Gentiles and set up My standard to the people; And they shall bring thy sons in their arms, And thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders;

1 Nephi 7:1 And now it came to pass that after I, Nephi, after that I had read these things which were engraven upon the plates of brass, My brethren came unto me and said unto me: "What meaneth these things which ye have read?

1 Nephi 7:4 For by the Spirit are all things made known unto the prophets which shall come upon the children of men according to the flesh.

1 Nephi 7:6 For it appears that the house of Israel, sooner or later, will be scattered upon all the face of the earth, and also among all nations.

1 Nephi 7:9 And they are scattered to and fro upon the isles of the sea;

1 Nephi 7:13 "Nevertheless, after that they have been nursed by the Gentiles and the Lord hath lifted up His hand upon the Gentiles and set them up for a standard - And their children shall be carried in their arms, And their daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders; Behold, these things of which are spoken are temporal, For thus are the covenants of the Lord with our fathers;

1 Nephi 7:15 "And it meaneth that the time cometh that after all the house of Israel have been scattered and confounded, that the Lord God will raise up a mighty nation among the Gentiles, Yea, even upon the face of this land;

1 Nephi 7:18 Wherefore, it is likened unto their being nursed by the Gentiles and being carried in their arms and upon their shoulders.

1 Nephi 7:26 "And the blood of that great and abominable church, which is the whore of all the earth, shall turn upon their own heads,

1 Nephi 7:27 For they shall war among themselves; And the sword of their own hands shall fall upon their own heads, And they shall be drunken with their own blood.

1 Nephi 7:34 'For the time soon cometh that the fullness of the wrath of God shall be poured out upon all the children of men,

1 Nephi 7:39 And it must needs be upon the face of this earth;

1 Nephi 7:66 "Wherefore my brethern, I would that ye should consider that the things which have been written upon the plates of brass are true,

2 Nephi 1:2 And he spake unto them concerning their rebellions upon the waters and the mercies of God in sparing their lives, that they were not swallowed up in the sea;

2 Nephi 1:18 "Wherefore, I, Lehi, have obtained a promise that inasmuch as they which the Lord God shall bring out of the Land of Jerusalem shall keep His commandments, they shall prosper upon the face of this land,

2 Nephi 1:20 And if it so be that they shall keep His commandments, they shall be blessed upon the face of this land,

2 Nephi 1:23 Behold I say, if the day shall come that they will reject the Holy One of Israel, the true Messiah, their Redeemer and their God, Behold, the judgments of Him that is just shall rest upon them -

2 Nephi 1:31 My heart hath been weighed down with sorrow from time to time, For I have feared - lest for the hardness of your hearts, lest the Lord your God should come out in the fullness of His wrath upon you - that ye be cut off and destroyed forever,

2 Nephi 1:32 Or that a cursing should come upon you for the space of many generations, And ye are visited by sword and by famine, And are hated and are led according to the will and captivity of the devil.

2 Nephi 1:33 "O my sons, that these things might not come upon you, But that ye might be a choice and a favored people of the Lord!

2 Nephi 1:37 And also that ye may not incur the displeasure of a just God upon you unto the destruction, yea, the eternal destruction of both soul and body.

2 Nephi 1:54 But if ye will not hearken unto him, I take away my first blessing, yea, even my blessing, And it shall rest upon him.

2 Nephi 1:56 Wherefore, because thou hast been faithful, thy seed shall be blessed with his seed, that they dwell in prosperity long upon the face of this land,

2 Nephi 1:57 And nothing, save it shall be iniquity among them, shall harm or disturb their prosperity upon the face of this land forever;

2 Nephi 1:93 And if there is no God, we are not, neither the earth, For there could have been no creation of things, neither to act, nor to be acted upon; Wherefore, all things must have vanished away.

2 Nephi 1:96 Both things to act and things to be acted upon.

2 Nephi 1:118 To act for themselves and not to be acted upon, save it be by the punishment of the Lord at the great and last day, according to the commandments which God hath given.

2 Nephi 3:5 And they are written upon the plates of brass.

2 Nephi 3:10 "But behold, my sons and my daughters, I cannot go down to my grave save I should leave a blessing upon you;

2 Nephi 3:12 Wherefore, if ye are cursed, behold, I leave my blessing upon you that the cursing may be taken from you and be answered upon the heads of your parents;

2 Nephi 3:27 Many of which sayings are written upon mine other plates, for a more history part are written upon mine other plates.

2 Nephi 3:28 And upon these I write the things of my soul and many of the scriptures which are engraven upon the plates of brass,

2 Nephi 3:30 Behold, my soul delighteth in the things of the Lord, And my heart pondereth continually upon the things which I have seen and heard.

2 Nephi 3:35 My God hath been my support; He hath led me through mine afflictions in the wilderness, And He hath preserved me upon the waters of the great deep;

2 Nephi 3:40 And upon the wings of His Spirit hath my body been carried away upon exceeding high mountains;

2 Nephi 4:5 Now I do not write upon these plates all the words which they murmured against me,

2 Nephi 4:13 And all they which were with me did take it upon them to call themselves the people of Nephi;

2 Nephi 4:17 And I, Nephi, had also brought the records which were engraven upon the plates of brass, And also the ball, or the compass, which was prepared for my father by the hand of the Lord, according to that which is written.

2 Nephi 4:19 And I, Nephi, did take the sword of Laban and after the manner of it did make many swords, Lest by any means the people which were now called Lamanites should come upon us and destroy us,

2 Nephi 4:23 for they were not to be found upon the land,

2 Nephi 4:33 And He had caused the cursing to come upon them, yea, even a sore cursing because of their iniquity,

2 Nephi 4:35 Wherefore, as they were white and exceeding fair and delightsome, That they might not be enticing unto my people, therefore, the Lord God did cause a skin of blackness to come upon them;

2 Nephi 4:39 And because of their cursing which was upon them, they did become an idle people, full of mischief and subtlety, And did seek in the wilderness for beasts of prey;

2 Nephi 4:45 And I, Nephi, had kept the records upon my plates which I had made of my people thus far.

2 Nephi 4:46 And it came to pass that the Lord God said unto me: "Make other plates; And thou shalt engraven many things upon them which are good in My sight for the profit of thy people."

2 Nephi 4:47 Wherefore, I, Nephi, to be obedient to the commandments of the Lord, went and made these plates upon which I have engraven these things,

2 Nephi 4:49 And if my people be pleased with the things of God, they be pleased with mine engravings which are upon these plates;

2 Nephi 5:18 And they shall bring thy sons in their arms, And thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders;

2 Nephi 5:26 And after that they have hardened their hearts and stiffened their necks against the Holy One of Israel, Behold, the judgments of the Holy One of Israel shall come upon them.

2 Nephi 5:78 The isles shall wait upon Me, And on Mine arm shall they trust.

2 Nephi 5:79 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, And look upon the earth beneath.

2 Nephi 5:90 Therefore, the redeemed of the Lord shall return and come with singing unto Zion; And everlasting joy and holiness shall be upon their heads;

2 Nephi 6:4 Behold, my beloved brethren, I speak unto you these things that ye may rejoice and lift up your heads forever because of the blessings which the Lord God shall bestow upon your children,

2 Nephi 6:11 For as death hath passed upon all men to fulfill the merciful plan of the great Creator, there must needs be a power of resurrection,

2 Nephi 6:17 Wherefore, the first judgment which came upon man must needs have remained to an endless duration,

2 Nephi 6:47 And He suffereth this that the resurrection might pass upon all men, that all might stand before Him at the great and judgment day.

2 Nephi 6:53 And where there is no condemnation, the mercies of the Holy One of Israel hath claim upon them because of the atonement,

2 Nephi 6:54 For they are delivered by the power of Him; For the atonement satisfieth the demands of His justice upon all those who hath not the law given to them, That they are delivered from that awful monster death and hell and the devil, And the lake of fire and brimstone, which is endless torment;

2 Nephi 6:63 For because that they are rich, they despise the poor, and they persecute the meek, and their hearts are upon their treasures; Wherefore, their treasure is their god;

2 Nephi 6:97 Behold, if ye were holy, I would speak unto you of holiness, But as ye are not holy, and ye look upon me as a teacher, it must needs be expedient that I teach you the consequences of sin.

2 Nephi 6:102 and feast upon that which perisheth not, neither can be corrupted: "And let your soul delight in fatness."

2 Nephi 7:10 Wherefore, because of their iniquities, destructions, famines, pestilences and bloodsheds shall come upon them,

2 Nephi 7:12 But behold, thus saith the Lord God: "When the day cometh that they shall believe in Me, that I Am Christ, Then have I covenanted with their fathers that they shall be restored in the flesh upon the earth unto the lands of their inheritance.

2 Nephi 7:17 "But behold, this land, " saith God, "shall be a land of thine inheritance; And the Gentiles shall be blessed upon the land,

2 Nephi 7:18 And this land shall be a land of liberty unto the Gentiles, And there shall be no kings upon the land which shall raise up unto the Gentiles;

2 Nephi 7:35 For the Lord hath made the sea our path and we are upon an isle of the sea;

2 Nephi 7:36 But great are the promises of the Lord unto they which are upon the isles of the sea.

2 Nephi 8:28 For the day of the Lord of Hosts soon cometh upon all nations, yea, upon everyone - Yea, upon the proud and lofty and upon everyone which is lifted up; And he shall be brought low;

2 Nephi 8:29 Yea, and the day of the Lord shall come upon all the cedars of Lebanon - For they are high and lifted up - and upon all the oaks of Bashan,

2 Nephi 8:30 and upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills, and upon all the nations which are lifted up,

2 Nephi 8:31 and upon every people, and upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall,

2 Nephi 8:32 and upon all the ships of the sea, and upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all the pleasant pictures.

2 Nephi 8:35 And they shall go into the holes of the rocks and into the caves of the earth, For the fear of the Lord shall come upon them; And the glory of His majesty shall smite them when He ariseth to shake terribly the earth.

2 Nephi 8:37 to go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, For the fear of the Lord shall come upon them, And the majesty of His glory shall smite them when He ariseth to shake terribly the earth.

2 Nephi 8:49 Wo unto the wicked! for they shall perish, For the reward of their hands shall be upon them.

2 Nephi 8:64 And her gates shall lament and mourn, And she shall be desolate and shall sit upon the ground.

2 Nephi 8:69 And the Lord will create upon every dwelling place of Mount Zion, And upon her assemblies, a cloud of smoke by day and the shining of a flaming fire by night; For upon all, the glory of Zion shall be a defense.

2 Nephi 8:76 And I will lay it waste. It shall not be pruned nor digged, but there shall come up briers and thorns. I will also command the clouds, that they rain no rain upon it."

2 Nephi 9:1 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, And His train filled the temple.

2 Nephi 9:7 And he laid it upon my mouth and said: "Lo, this has touched thy lips; And thine iniquity is taken away, And thy sin purged."

2 Nephi 9:30 "The Lord shall bring upon thee and upon thy people and upon thy father's house days that have not come, From the day that Ephraim departed from Judah, the king of Assyria."

2 Nephi 9:32 And they shall come and shall rest - all of them - in the desolate valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, and upon all thorns, and upon all bushes.

2 Nephi 9:45 Now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up upon them the waters of the river, strong and many, Even the king of Assyria and all his glory; And he shall come up over all his channels and go over all his banks;

2 Nephi 9:55 And I will wait upon the Lord that hideth His face from the house of Jacob; And I will look for Him.

2 Nephi 9:62 The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light; They that dwell in the land of the shadow of death - upon them hath the light shined.

2 Nephi 9:66 For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; And the government shall be upon His shoulder. And His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

2 Nephi 9:67 Of the increase of government and peace, there is no end upon the throne of David and upon His kingdom, To order it and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth, even forever. The zeal of the Lord of Hosts will perform this.

2 Nephi 9:68 The Lord sent His word unto Jacob and it hath lighted upon Israel.

2 Nephi 9:93 Wherefore, it shall come to pass that when the Lord hath performed His whole work upon Mount Zion and upon Jerusalem, "I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria and the glory of his high looks."

2 Nephi 9:101 And it shall come to pass in that day that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them, But shall stay upon the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.

2 Nephi 9:107 And the Lord of Hosts shall stir up a scourge for him, according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb; And as His rod was upon the sea, so shall He lift it up after the manner of Egypt.

2 Nephi 9:117 And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him - the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord -

2 Nephi 9:129 But they shall fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines toward the west; They shall spoil them of the east together; They shall lay their hand upon Edom and Moab; And the children of Ammon shall obey them.

2 Nephi 9:135 And in that day shall ye say: "Praise the Lord, call upon His name, Declare His doings among the people, Make mention that His name is exalted.

2 Nephi 10:2 "Lift ye up a banner upon the high mountain, Exalt the voice unto them, Shake the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.

2 Nephi 10:3 I have commanded My sanctified ones; I have also called My mighty ones, For Mine anger is not upon them that rejoice in My highness."

2 Nephi 10:35 For thou hast said in thy heart: 'I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north;

2 Nephi 10:38 "They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee and shall consider thee and shall say: 'Is this the man that made the earth to tremble? that did shake kingdoms?

2 Nephi 10:47 That I will bring the Assyrian in My land, And upon My mountains tread him underfoot. Then shall his yoke depart from off them, And his burden depart from off their shoulders.

2 Nephi 10:48 This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth, And this is the hand that is stretched out upon all nations.

2 Nephi 11:4 Wherefore, I write unto my people, unto all they that shall receive hereafter these things which I write, That they may know the judgments of God, that they come upon all nations according to the word which He hath spoken.

2 Nephi 11:17 Wherefore, it hath been told them concerning the destruction which should come upon them immediately after my father left Jerusalem;

2 Nephi 11:67 "And mountains shall cover them, And whirlwinds shall carry them away, And buildings shall fall upon them and crush them to pieces and grind them to powder;

2 Nephi 11:91 Nevertheless, they put down the power and the miracles of God, And preach up unto themselves their own wisdom and their own learning, that they may get gain and grind upon the face of the poor;

2 Nephi 11:116 But behold, in the last days, or in the days of the Gentiles, Yea, behold, all the nations of the Gentiles, and also the Jews - Both they which shall come upon this land, And they which shall be upon other lands, yea, even upon all the lands of the earth - Behold, they will be drunken with iniquity and all manner of abominations.

2 Nephi 11:123 For behold, the Lord hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep,

2 Nephi 11:131 And the day cometh that the words of the book which were sealed shall be read upon the housetops; And they shall be read by the power of Christ;

2 Nephi 12:34 For behold, he that is built upon the Rock, receiveth it with gladness; And he that is built upon a sandy foundation, trembleth lest he shall fall.

2 Nephi 12:36 For behold, thus saith the Lord God: "I will give unto the children of men, Line upon line and precept upon precept, Here a little and there a little;

2 Nephi 12:52 But behold, I will return all these things upon your own heads; For I, the Lord, hath not forgotten My people.

2 Nephi 12:56 Know ye not that I, the Lord your God, have created all men? And that I remember they which are upon the isles of the sea? And that I rule in the heavens above and in the earth beneath?

2 Nephi 12:57 And I bring forth My word unto the children of men, Yea, even upon all the nations of the earth?

2 Nephi 12:85 And it shall come to pass that the Jews which are scattered also shall begin to believe in Christ; And they shall begin to gather in upon the face of the land;

2 Nephi 12:87 And it shall come to pass that the Lord God shall commence His work among all nations, kindreds, tongues and people, To bring about the restoration of His people upon the earth.

2 Nephi 12:97 There is nothing which is secret, save it shall be revealed; There is no work of darkness, save it shall be made manifest in the light; And there is nothing which is sealed upon earth, save it shall be loosed -

2 Nephi 13:10 Wherefore, after that He was baptized with water, the Holy Ghost descended upon Him in the form of a dove.

2 Nephi 13:16 Wherefore my beloved brethren, I know that if ye shall follow the Son with full purpose of heart, Acting no hypocrisy and no deception before God, but with real intent, repenting of your sins, Witnessing unto the Father that ye are willing to take upon you the name of Christ by baptism, Yea, by following your Lord and Savior down into the water according to His word, Behold, then shall ye receive the Holy Ghost;

2 Nephi 13:28 Behold, I say unto you, Nay; For ye have not come thus far save it were by the word of Christ, with unshaken faith in Him, Relying wholly upon the merits of Him who is mighty to save.

2 Nephi 13:30 Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ and endure to the end, "Behold, " thus saith the Father, "ye shall have eternal life."

2 Nephi 14:4 Wherefore, I said unto you: Feast upon the words of Christ, For behold, the words of Christ will tell you all things what ye should do.

Jacob 1:1 For behold, it came to pass that fifty and five years had passed away from the time that Lehi left Jerusalem; Wherefore, Nephi gave me, Jacob, a commandment concerning these small plates upon which these things are engraven;

Jacob 1:2 And he gave me, Jacob, a commandment that I should write upon these plates a few of the things which I considered to be most precious, That I should not touch, save it were lightly, concerning the history of this people, which are called the people of Nephi;

Jacob 1:3 For he said that the history of his people should be engraven upon his other plates, And that I should preserve these plates and hand them down unto my seed from generation to generation;

Jacob 1:4 And if there were preaching which was sacred, or revelation which was great, or prophesying, That I should engraven the heads of them upon these plates, And touch upon them as much as it were possible, for Christ's sake and for the sake of our people.

Jacob 1:8 Wherefore, we would to God that we could persuade all men not to rebel against God, to provoke Him to anger, But that all men would believe in Christ and view His death and suffer His cross and bear the shame of the world; Wherefore, I, Jacob, take it upon me to fulfill the commandment of my brother Nephi.

Jacob 1:19 And we did magnify our office unto the Lord, taking upon us the responsibility, answering the sins of the people upon our own heads if we did not teach them the word of God with all diligence;

Jacob 1:20 Wherefore, by laboring with our mights, their blood might not come upon our garments - Otherwise their blood would come upon our garments and we would not be found spotless at the last day.

Jacob 2:10 And those which have not been wounded, instead of feasting upon the pleasing word of God, have daggers placed to pierce their souls and wound their delicate minds;

Jacob 2:15 And the hand of providence hath smiled upon you most pleasingly, that you have obtained many riches;

Jacob 2:49 Look unto God with firmness of mind and pray unto Him with exceeding faith, And He will console you in your afflictions, And He will plead your cause and send down justice upon those who seek your destruction;

Jacob 2:50 O all ye that are pure in heart, Lift up your heads and receive the pleasing word of God and feast upon His love, for ye may if your minds are firm forever.

Jacob 2:54 Behold, the Lamanites, your brethren, whom ye hate because of their filthiness and the cursings which hath come upon their skins, are more righteous than you,

Jacob 2:63 And also remember that ye may, because of your filthiness, bring your children unto destruction and their sins be heaped upon your heads at the last day.

Jacob 2:67 And a hundredth part of the proceedings of this people, which now began to be numerous, cannot be written upon these plates;

Jacob 2:68 But many of their proceedings are written upon the larger plates, and their wars and their contentions and the reigns of their kings.

Jacob 3:1 Now behold, it came to pass that I, Jacob, having ministered much unto my people in word, And I cannot write but a little of my words because of the difficulty of engraving our words upon plates, And we know that the things which we write upon plates must remain,

Jacob 3:2 But whatsoever things we write upon anything, save it be upon plates, must perish and vanish away, But we can write a few words upon plates which will give our children, and also our beloved brethren, a small degree of knowledge concerning us, or concerning their fathers.

Jacob 3:3 Now in this thing we do rejoice, And we labor diligently to engraven these words upon plates, hoping that our beloved brethren and our children will receive them with thankful hearts, And look upon them, that they may learn with joy and not with sorrow, neither with contempt, concerning their first parents.

Jacob 3:12 For behold, by the power of His word man came upon the face of the earth, Which earth was created by the power of His word;

Jacob 3:13 Wherefore, if God being able to speak and the world was, and to speak and man was created, O then, why not able to command the earth, or the workmanship of His hands upon the face of it, according to His will and pleasure?

Jacob 3:26 And now I, Jacob, am led on by the Spirit unto prophesying, For I perceive by the workings of the Spirit which is in me that by the stumbling of the Jews they will reject the stone upon which they might build and have safe foundation;

Jacob 3:27 But behold, according to the scriptures this stone shall become the great and the last and the only sure foundation upon which the Jews can build.

Jacob 3:28 And now my beloved, how is it possible that these, after having rejected the sure foundation, can ever build upon it, that it may become the head of their corner?

Jacob 5:27 And it came to pass that when I, Jacob, had spoken these words, the power of the Lord came upon him, insomuch that he fell to the earth.

Jacob 5:36 And when the multitude had witnessed that he spake these things as he was about to give up the ghost, they were astonished exceedingly, Insomuch that the power of God came down upon them and they were overcome, that they fell to the earth.

Jacob 5:47 And I make an end of my writing upon these plates, which writing hath been small;

Enos 1:16 Wherefore, I will visit thy brethren according as I have said, And their transgressions will I bring down with sorrow upon their own heads."

Enos 1:32 feeding upon beasts of prey, dwelling in tents, And wandering about in the wilderness with a short skin girded about their loins and their heads shaven; And their skill was in the bow and the scimitar and the axe;

Enos 1:43 And as I saw that I must soon go down to my grave - Having been wrought upon by the power of God that I must preach and prophesy unto this people and declare the word according to the truth which is in Christ,

Omni 1:1 Behold, it came to pass that I, Omni, being commanded by my father Jarom, that I should write somewhat upon these plates to preserve our genealogy,

Omni 1:5 Yea, and in fine, two hundred and eighty and two years had passed away; And I had kept these plates according to the commandments of my fathers and I conferred them upon my son Amaron; And I make an end.

Omni 1:16 And behold, the record of this people is engraven upon plates which is had by the kings, according to the generations;

Omni 1:39 And his first parents came out from the Tower at the time the Lord confounded the language of the people; And the severity of the Lord fell upon them according to His judgments which are just, And their bones lay scattered in the Land Northward.

Jarom 1:14 And they were scattered upon much of the face of the land, and the Lamanites also;

Jarom 1:19 And we multiplied exceedingly and spread upon the face of the land, And became exceeding rich in gold and in silver, and in precious things, and in fine workmanship of wood, in buildings and in machinery, and also in iron and copper and brass and steel, Making all manner of tools of every kind to till the ground, And weapons of war -

Jarom 1:27 And it came to pass that by so doing, they kept them from being destroyed upon the face of the land,

Jarom 1:31 But behold, my brethren, ye can go to the other plates of Nephi, For behold, upon them the record of our wars are engraven according to the writings of the kings, or that which they caused to be written;

Words of Mormon 1:6 And the things which are upon these plates pleasing me because of the prophecies of the coming of Christ, And my fathers knowing that many of them have been fulfilled,

Words of Mormon 1:8 Wherefore, I chose these things to finish my record upon them, which remainder of my record I shall take from the plates of Nephi; And I cannot write a hundredth part of the things of my people.

Words of Mormon 1:17 And I know that they will be preserved, For there are great things written upon them out of which my people and their brethren shall be judged at the great and last day, according to the word of God which is written.

Mosiah 1:14 And it came to pass that after King Benjamin had made an end of teaching his sons, that he waxed old and he saw that he must very soon go the way of all the earth; Therefore, he thought it expedient that he should confer the kingdom upon one of his sons.

Mosiah 1:25 Therefore, as they were unfaithful, they did not prosper nor progress in their journey, but were driven back and incurred the displeasure of God upon them;

Mosiah 1:46 "And even I, myself, have labored with mine own hands that I might serve you, And that ye should not be laden with taxes, And that there should nothing come upon you which was grievous to be borne; And of all these things which I have spoken, ye yourselves are witnesses this day.

Mosiah 1:64 Therefore, as I said unto you that I had served you, walking with a clear conscience before God, Even so, I at this time have caused that ye should assemble yourselves together, that I might be found blameless, And that your blood should not come upon me when I shall stand to be judged of God of the things whereof He hath commanded me concerning you.

Mosiah 1:74 For behold, there is a wo pronounced upon him that listeth to obey that spirit; For if he listeth to obey him and remaineth and dieth in his sins, the same drinketh damnation to his own soul,

Mosiah 1:106 'And behold, all these things are done that a righteous judgment might come upon the children of men.

Mosiah 1:120 But if he yieldeth to the enticings of the Holy Spirit and putteth off the natural man - And he becometh a saint through the atonement of Christ the Lord, And becometh as a child - submissive, meek, humble, patient, full of love, Willing to submit to all things which the Lord seeth fit to inflict upon him, even as a child doth submit to his father.

Mosiah 2:1 And now it came to pass that when King Benjamin had made an end of speaking the words which had been delivered unto him by the angel of the Lord, that he cast his eyes round about on the multitude; And behold, they had fallen to the earth, for the fear of the Lord had come upon them,

Mosiah 2:5 And it came to pass that after they had spoken these words, the Spirit of the Lord came upon them, And they were filled with joy,

Mosiah 2:30 "Perhaps thou shalt say, ' The man hath brought upon himself his misery, therefore I will stay my hand and will not give unto him of my food, nor impart unto him of my substance that he may not suffer, for his punishments are just ';

Mosiah 2:32 "For behold, are we not all beggars? Do we not all depend upon the same Being, even God, for all the substance which we have? For both food and raiment and for gold and for silver and for all the riches which we have of every kind?

Mosiah 2:35 Nay, He hath poured out His Spirit upon you, And hath caused that your hearts should be filled with joy, And hath caused that your mouths should be stopped, that ye could not find utterance, so exceeding great was your joy.

Mosiah 3:6 And we are willing to enter into a covenant with our God, to do His will and to be obedient to His commandments in all things that He shall command us all the remainder of our days, That we may not bring upon ourselves a never - ending torment as has been spoken by the angel, That we may not drink out of the cup of the wrath of God."

Mosiah 3:11 There is no other name given whereby salvation cometh; Therefore, I would that ye should take upon you the name of Christ - all you that have entered into the covenant with God - that ye should be obedient unto the end of your lives.

Mosiah 3:13 "And now it shall come to pass that whosoever shall not take upon them the name of Christ must be called by some other name; Therefore, he findeth himself on the left hand of God.

Mosiah 4:2 And it came to pass that there was not one soul, except it were little children, but what had entered into the covenant and had taken upon them the name of Christ.

Mosiah 5:41 For if this people had not fallen into transgression, the Lord would not have suffered that this great evil should come upon them;

Mosiah 5:44 And because he saith unto them that Christ was the God, the Father, of all things, And saith that He should take upon Him the image of man, And it should be the image after which man was created in the beginning -

Mosiah 5:45 Or in other words, he said that man was created after the image of God, And that God should come down among the children of men and take upon Him flesh and blood and go forth upon the face of the earth;

Mosiah 5:46 And now because he said this, they did put him to death. "And many more things did they do which brought down the wrath of God upon them;

Mosiah 6:1 I, Zeniff, having been taught in all the language of the Nephites, And having had a knowledge of the Land of Nephi, or of the land of our fathers' first inheritance, And I having been sent as a spy among the Lamanites that I might spy out their forces, that our army might come upon them and destroy them -

Mosiah 6:15 Now they were a lazy and an idolatrous people; Therefore, they were desirous to bring us into bondage, that they might glut themselves with the labors of our hands, Yea, that they might feast themselves upon the flocks of our fields.

Mosiah 6:17 For in the thirteenth year of my reign in the Land of Nephi, away on the south of the Land of Shilom, when my people were watering and feeding their flocks and tilling their lands, A numerous host of Lamanites came upon them and began to slay them and to take of their flocks and the corn of their fields;

Mosiah 6:18 Yea, and it came to pass that they fled, all that were not overtaken, even into the City of Nephi, and did call upon me for protection.

Mosiah 6:28 And I set guards round about the land, that the Lamanites might not come upon us again unawares and destroy us;

Mosiah 6:36 But I having sent my spies out round about the Land of Shemlon that I might discover their preparations, that I might guard against them, that they might not come upon my people and destroy them.

Mosiah 6:37 And it came to pass that they came up upon the north of the Land of Shilom with their numerous hosts - Men armed with bows and with arrows, and with swords and with scimitars, and with stones and with slings;

Mosiah 6:44 Now the Lamanites knew nothing concerning the Lord, nor the strength of the Lord, Therefore, they depended upon their own strength,

Mosiah 6:50 They were also wroth with him upon the waters because they hardened their hearts against the Lord.

Mosiah 6:58 And now I, being old, did confer the kingdom upon one of my sons; Therefore, I say no more; And may the Lord bless my people. Amen.

Mosiah 7:1 And now it came to pass that Zeniff conferred the kingdom upon Noah, one of his sons, Therefore, Noah began to reign in his stead; And he did not walk in the ways of his father;

Mosiah 7:9 Yea, and thus were they supported in their laziness and in their idolatry and in their whoredoms by the taxes which King Noah had put upon his people; Thus did the people labor exceedingly to support iniquity;

Mosiah 7:15 And he caused a breastwork to be built before them, that they might rest their bodies and their arms upon while they should speak lying and vain words to his people.

Mosiah 7:16 And it came to pass that he built a tower near the temple, yea, a very high tower, Even so high that he could stand upon the top thereof and overlook the Land of Shilom, and also the Land of Shemlon which was possessed by the Lamanites; And he could even look over all the land round about.

Mosiah 7:20 And it came to pass that he placed his heart upon his riches; And he spent his time in riotous living with his wives and his concubines, And so did also his priests spend their time with harlots.

Mosiah 7:22 And it came to pass that the Lamanites began to come in upon his people, upon small numbers, and to slay them in their fields and while they were tending their flocks;

Mosiah 7:23 And King Noah sent guards round about the land to keep them off, but he did not send a sufficient number, And the Lamanites came upon them and killed them and drove many of their flocks out of the land;

Mosiah 7:24 Thus the Lamanites began to destroy them and to exercise their hatred upon them.

Mosiah 7:41 And he saith: "Who is Abinadi, that I and my people should be judged of him? Or who is the Lord that shall bring upon my people such great affliction?

Mosiah 7:52 Yea, and I will cause that they shall have burdens lashed upon their backs and they shall be driven before like a dumb ass.

Mosiah 7:63 And again, he saith thou shalt be as the blossoms of a thistle which, when it is fully ripe, if the wind bloweth, it is driven forth upon the face of the land; And he pretendeth the Lord hath spoken it;

Mosiah 7:64 And he saith all this shall come upon thee, except thou repent, And this because of thine iniquities.

Mosiah 7:77 'How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, That publisheth peace, That bringeth good tidings of good, That publisheth salvation, That saith unto Zion, "Thy God reigneth!"

Mosiah 7:86 Why do ye set your hearts upon riches?

Mosiah 7:101 And they stood forth and attempted to lay their hands on him, but he withstood them and said unto them: "Touch me not, for God shall smite you if ye lay your hands upon me, For I have not delivered the message which the Lord sent me to deliver,

Mosiah 7:106 For the Spirit of the Lord was upon him and his face shone with exceeding luster, even as Moses' did while in the Mount of Sinai while speaking with the Lord;

Mosiah 7:114 "And again: 'Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them, For I, the Lord thy God, am a jealous God, Visiting the iniquities of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate Me, And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love Me and keep My commandments.

Mosiah 7:119 'Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee;

Mosiah 8:13 Have they not said that God Himself should come down among the children of men and take upon Him the form of man and go forth in mighty power upon the face of the earth?

Mosiah 8:20 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement of our peace was upon Him, And with His stripes we are healed.

Mosiah 8:37 standing betwixt them and justice, Having broken the bands of death, taken upon Himself their iniquity and their transgressions, Having redeemed them and satisfied the demands of justice.

Mosiah 8:48 "And, O how beautiful upon the mountains were their feet!

Mosiah 8:49 "And again, how beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of those that art still publishing peace!

Mosiah 8:50 "And again, how beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of those who shall hereafter publish peace, Yea, from this time henceforth and forever!

Mosiah 8:51 "And behold, I say unto you, this is not all - For O how beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of Him that bringeth good tidings, that is, the founder of peace!

Mosiah 8:86 Having gone according to their own carnal wills and desires, Having never called upon the Lord while the arms of mercy were extended toward them;

Mosiah 9:17 And now King Noah was about to release him, for he feared his word, For he feared that the judgments of God would come upon him;

Mosiah 9:25 Thus God executeth vengeance upon those that destroy His people!

Mosiah 9:41 Now, I say unto you, if this be the desires of your hearts, What have you against being baptized in the name of the Lord as a witness before Him that ye have entered into a covenant with Him that ye will serve Him and keep His commandments, that He may pour out His Spirit more abundantly upon you?"

Mosiah 9:43 And now it came to pass that Alma took Helam, he being one of the first, and went and stood forth in the water and cried, saying: "O Lord, pour out Thy Spirit upon Thy servant, that he may do this work with holiness of heart!"

Mosiah 9:44 And when he had said these words, the Spirit of the Lord was upon him and he said: "Helam, I baptize thee, having authority from the Almighty God, as a testimony that ye have entered into a covenant to serve Him until you are dead, as to the mortal body; And may the Spirit of the Lord be poured out upon you, And may He grant unto you eternal life through the redemption of Christ which He hath prepared from the foundation of the world."

Mosiah 9:59 And the priests were not to depend upon the people for their support, But for their labor they were to receive the grace of God, that they might wax strong in the Spirit, Having the knowledge of God, that they might teach with power and authority from God.

Mosiah 9:78 And now it came to pass that he fought with the king; And when the king saw that he was about to overpower him, he fled and ran and got upon the tower which was near the temple;

Mosiah 9:79 And Gideon pursued after him and was about to get upon the tower to slay the king, And the king cast his eyes round about toward the Land of Shemlon, And behold, the army of the Lamanites were within the borders of the land.

Mosiah 9:80 And now the king cried out in the anguish of his soul, saying: "Gideon, spare me! for the Lamanites are upon us and they will destroy them, Yea, they will destroy my people!"

Mosiah 9:103 And also Limhi, being the son of the king, having the kingdom conferred upon him by the people, made an oath unto the king of the Lamanites that his people should pay tribute unto him, even one half of all they possessed.

Mosiah 9:116 And it came to pass that when the Lamanites had come up, that the people of Limhi began to fall upon them from their waiting places and began to slay them.

Mosiah 9:120 And it came to pass that they found the king of the Lamanites among the number of their dead, Yet he was not dead, having been wounded and left upon the ground, so speedy was the flight of his people;

Mosiah 9:142 Now they durst not slay them because of the oath which their king had made unto Limhi; But they would smite them on their cheeks and exercise authority over them, And began to put heavy burdens upon their backs and drive them as they would a dumb ass; Yea, all this was done that the word of the Lord might be fulfilled.

Mosiah 9:149 Now there were a great many widows in the land and they did cry mightily from day to day, for a great fear of the Lamanites had come upon them.

Mosiah 9:161 And he caused that his people should watch the land round about, That by some means they might take those priests that fled into the wilderness which had stolen the daughters of the Lamanites and that had caused such a great destruction to come upon them;

Mosiah 9:177 And Ammon declined doing this thing, considering himself an unworthy servant; Therefore, they did not at that time form themselves into a church, waiting upon the Spirit of the Lord.

Mosiah 11:1 Now Alma having been warned of the Lord that the armies of King Noah would come upon them and had made it known to his people, Therefore, they gathered together their flocks and took of their grain and departed into the wilderness before the armies of King Noah;

Mosiah 11:56 Yet he exercised authority over them and put tasks upon them and put taskmasters over them.

Mosiah 11:58 And it came to pass that Amulon commanded them that they should stop their cries; And he put guards over them to watch them, that whosoever should be found calling upon God should be put to death.

Mosiah 11:61 And I will also ease the burdens which are put upon your shoulders, that even you cannot feel them upon your backs even while you are in bondage;

Mosiah 11:63 And now it came to pass that the burdens which were laid upon Alma and his brethren were made light,

Mosiah 11:68 And in the morning the Lord caused a deep sleep to come upon the Lamanites, Yea, and all their taskmasters were in a profound sleep.

Mosiah 11:87 And again, when they thought upon the Lamanites which were their brethren, of their sinful and polluted state, they were filled with pain and anguish for the welfare of their souls.

Mosiah 11:89 And they would no longer be called by the names of their fathers; Therefore, they took upon themselves the name of Nephi, that they might be called the children of Nephi and be numbered among those which were called Nephites.

Mosiah 11:90 And now all the people of Zarahemla were numbered with the Nephites, And this because the kingdom had been conferred upon none but those which were descendants of Nephi.

Mosiah 11:103 And it came to pass that whosoever was desirous to take upon them the name of Christ, or of God, they did join the churches of God and they were called the people of God;

Mosiah 11:104 And the Lord did pour out His Spirit upon them and they were blessed and prospered in the land.

Mosiah 11:109 And they were a separate people as to their faith, and remained so ever after, even in their carnal and sinful state, for they would not call upon the Lord their God.

Mosiah 11:131 "For it is I that taketh upon Me the sins of the world; For it is I that hath created them; And it is I that granteth unto him that believeth, in the end, a place at My right hand;

Mosiah 11:156 And there began to be much peace again in the land; And the people began to be very numerous and began to scatter abroad upon the face of the earth,

Mosiah 11:163 And as I said unto you, as they were going about rebelling against God, Behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto them; And he descended as it were in a cloud, And he spake as it were with a voice of thunder which caused the earth to shake upon which they stood;

Mosiah 11:198 Then shall they confess, who live without God in the world, that the judgment of an everlasting punishment is just upon them;

Mosiah 12:7 And thus did the Spirit of the Lord work upon them, for they were the very vilest of sinners;

Mosiah 12:14 Now King Mosiah had no one to confer the kingdom upon, for there was not any of his sons which would accept of the kingdom;

Mosiah 12:15 Therefore, he took the records which were engraven upon the plates of brass, and also the plates of Nephi and all the things which he had kept and preserved according to the commandments of God,

Mosiah 12:23 and they were scattered abroad upon the face of all the earth, Yea, and even from that time until the creation of Adam -

Mosiah 13:1 And now, as I said unto you that after King Mosiah had done these things, he took the plates of brass and all the things which he had kept and conferred them upon Alma which was the son of Alma -

Mosiah 13:2 Yea, all the records, and also the interpreters - And conferred them upon him and commanding him that he should keep and preserve them, and also keep a record of the people, Handing them down from one generation to another, even as they had been handed down from the time that Lehi left Jerusalem.

Mosiah 13:5 Now Aaron had gone up to the Land of Nephi, therefore, the king could not confer the kingdom upon him, Neither would Aaron take upon him the kingdom;

Mosiah 13:6 Neither were any of the sons of Mosiah willing to take upon them the kingdom; Therefore, King Mosiah sent again among the people, yea, even a written word sent he among the people.

Mosiah 13:8 Now I declare unto you that he to whom that the kingdom doth rightly belong hath declined and will not take upon him the kingdom.

Mosiah 13:24 "Behold, what great destruction did come upon them, And also because of their iniquities, they were brought into bondage;

Mosiah 13:33 "And now behold I say unto you, it is not expedient that such abominations should come upon you;

Mosiah 13:37 And if the time cometh that the voice of the people doth choose iniquity, then is the time that the judgments of God will come upon you,

Mosiah 13:42 "And I command you to do these things and that ye have no king, That if these people commit sins and iniquities, they shall be answered upon their own heads;

Mosiah 13:43 For behold I say unto you, the sins of many people have been caused by the iniquities of their kings, Therefore, their iniquities are answered upon the heads of their kings.

Mosiah 13:46 Yea, even as long as any of our posterity remaineth upon the face of the land."

Mosiah 13:49 And he told them that these things had not ought to be, But that the burden should come upon all the people, that every man might bear his part.

Mosiah 13:59 For they did not look upon him as a tyrant who was seeking for gain, yea, for that lucre which doth corrupt the soul,

Mosiah 13:63 And it came to pass that Alma was appointed to be the chief judge, he being also the high priest, his father having conferred the office upon him and had given him the charge concerning all the affairs of the church.

Alma 1:19 "And thou hast shed the blood of a righteous man, yea, a man which has done much good among this people; And were we to spare thee, his blood would come upon us for vengeance.

Alma 1:22 And it came to pass that they took him, and his name was Nehor, and they carried him upon the top of the Hill Manti;

Alma 1:28 But it came to pass that whosoever did not belong to the church of God began to persecute those that did belong to the church of God and had taken upon them the name of Christ,

Alma 1:36 Now this was a great trial to those that did stand fast in the faith; Nevertheless, they were steadfast and immovable in keeping the commandments of God, And they bore with patience the persecution which was heaped upon them.

Alma 1:46 And they did not set their hearts upon riches; Therefore, they were liberal to all - both old and young, both bond and free, both male and female, whether out of the church or in the church - Having no respect to persons as to those who stood in need.

Alma 1:50 Nevertheless, the law was put in force upon all those who did transgress it, inasmuch as it were possible.

Alma 1:51 And it came to pass that by thus exercising the law upon them, every man suffering according to that which he had done, they became more still and durst not commit any wickedness if it were known;

Alma 1:70 And it came to pass that the Amlicites came up upon the Hill Amnihu which was east of the River Sidon which ran by the Land of Zarahemla; And there they began to make war with the Nephites.

Alma 1:71 Now Alma, he being the chief judge and the governor of the people of Nephi, Therefore, he went up with his people - yea, with his captains and chief captains - yea, at the head of his armies against the Amlicites to battle; And they began to slay the Amlicites upon the hill east of Sidon.

Alma 1:81 "And behold, the Amlicites have joined them and they are upon our brethren in that land; And they are fleeing before them with their flocks and their wives and their children toward our city;

Alma 1:84 And behold, as they were crossing the River Sidon, the Lamanites and the Amlicites being as numerous almost as it were as the sands of the sea, coming upon them to destroy them -

Alma 1:97 And it came to pass that many died in the wilderness of their wounds and were devoured by those beasts, and also the vultures of the air; And their bones have been found and have been heaped upon the earth.

Alma 1:101 And now as many of the Lamanites and the Amlicites which had been slain upon the bank of the River Sidon were cast into the waters of Sidon; And behold, their bones are in the depths of the sea, and they are many.

Alma 1:104 And the skins of the Lamanites were dark, according to the mark which was set upon their fathers, Which was a curse upon them because of their transgression and their rebellion against their brethren which consisted of Nephi, Jacob and Joseph and Sam, which were just and holy men.

Alma 1:105 And their brethren sought to destroy them; Therefore, they were cursed, And the Lord God set a mark upon them, yea, upon Laman and Lemuel, and also the sons of Ishmael and the Ishmaelitish women;

Alma 1:107 And it came to pass that whosoever did mingle his seed with that of the Lamanites did bring the same curse upon his seed;

Alma 1:108 Therefore, whomsoever suffered himself to be led away by the Lamanites were called under that head and there was a mark set upon him.

Alma 1:111 Now we will return again to the Amlicites, for they also had a mark set upon them; Yea, they set the mark upon themselves, yea, even a mark of red upon their foreheads.

Alma 1:113 "Behold, the Lamanites have I cursed; And I will set a mark upon them, that they and their seed may be separated from thee and thy seed from this time, henceforth and forever, except they repent of their wickedness and turn to me, that I may have mercy upon them.

Alma 1:114 "And again, I will set a mark upon him that mingleth his seed with thy brethren, that they may be cursed also.

Alma 1:115 "And again, will I set a mark upon him that fighteth against thee and thy seed.

Alma 1:118 Nevertheless, as they had come out in open rebellion against God, Therefore, it was expedient that the curse should fall upon them.

Alma 1:119 Now I would that ye should see that they brought upon themselves the curse;

Alma 1:120 And even so doth every man that is cursed bringeth upon himself his own condemnation.

Alma 1:121 Now it came to pass that not many days after the battle which was fought in the Land of Zarahemla by the Lamanites and the Amlicites, That there was another army of the Lamanites came in upon the people of Nephi in the same place where the first army met the Amlicites.

Alma 2:3 And so great were their afflictions that every soul had cause to mourn; And they believed that it was the judgments of God sent upon them because of their wickedness and their abominations - Therefore, they were awakened to a remembrance of their duty,

Alma 2:13 For they saw and beheld with great sorrow that the people of the church began to be lifted up in the pride of their eyes and to set their hearts upon riches and upon the vain things of the world,

Alma 2:19 Yea, seeing great inequality among the people - Some lifting themselves up with their pride, despising others, Turning their backs upon the needy and the naked, and those which were hungry, and those which were athirst, and those which were sick and afflicted -

Alma 2:22 And now it came to pass that Alma, having seen the afflictions of the humble followers of God and the persecutions which were heaped upon them by the remainder of his people, and seeing all their inequality, He began to be very sorrowful; Nevertheless, the Spirit of the Lord did not fail him.

Alma 3:32 "I say unto you, can you imagine to yourselves that ye hear the voice of the Lord saying unto you in that day: ' Come unto Me, ye blessed, For behold, your works have been the works of righteousness upon the face of the earth '?

Alma 3:33 "Or do ye imagine to yourselves that ye can lie unto the Lord at that day and say: 'Lord, our works have been righteous works upon the face of the earth, ' And that He will save you?

Alma 3:37 "I say unto you, can you look up, having the image of God engraven upon your countenances?

Alma 3:54 "And again I say unto you, is there one among you that doth make a mock of his brother or that heapeth upon him persecutions?

Alma 3:93 Yea, can ye be puffed up in the pride of your hearts? Yea, will ye still persist in the wearing of costly apparel and setting your hearts upon the vain things of the world, upon your riches?

Alma 3:96 Yea, and will you persist in turning your backs upon the poor and the needy and in withholding your substance from them?

Alma 4:8 and went over upon the east of the River Sidon into the Valley of Gideon, There having been a city built which was called the City of Gideon, which was in the valley that was called Gideon, being called after the man which was slain by the hand of Nehor with the sword.

Alma 5:11 I trust that ye are not lifted up in the pride of your hearts; Yea, I trust that ye have not set your hearts upon riches and the vain things of the world;

Alma 5:18 For behold, the kingdom of heaven is at hand and the Son of God cometh upon the face of the earth.

Alma 5:21 And this that the word might be fulfilled which saith He will take upon Him the pains and the sicknesses of His people; And He will take upon Him death, that He may loose the bands of death which bind His people;

Alma 5:22 And He will take upon Him their infirmities, that His bowels may be filled with mercy, according to the flesh, That He may know, according to the flesh, how to succor His people according to their infirmities.

Alma 5:23 Now the Spirit knoweth all things; Nevertheless, the Son of God suffereth, according to the flesh, That He might take upon Him the sins of His people, That He might blot out their transgressions according to the power of His deliverance. And now behold, this is the testimony which is in me.

Alma 5:44 And now may the peace of God rest upon you, and upon your houses and lands, and upon your flocks and herds, and all that you possess, your women and your children, According to your faith and good works from this time, henceforth and forever. And thus I have spoken. Amen.

Alma 6:10 Now Satan had got great hold upon the hearts of the people of the City of Ammonihah; Therefore, they would not hearken unto the words of Alma.

Alma 6:11 Nevertheless, Alma labored much in the spirit, wrestling with God in mighty prayer that He would pour out His Spirit upon the people which were in the city, That He would also grant that he might baptize them unto repentance.

Alma 6:16 Now when the people had said this and had withstood all his words and reviled him and spit upon him and caused that he should be cast out of their city, And he departed thence and took his journey toward the city which was called Aaron.

Alma 7:24 "But behold, I say unto you that if ye persist in your wickedness, that your days shall not be prolonged in the land, for the Lamanites shall be sent upon you;

Alma 7:48 And also because I said unto them that they were a lost and a fallen people, they were angry with me and sought to lay their hands upon me, that they might cast me into prison.

Alma 8:2 And it was that same Aminadi which interpreted the writing which was upon the wall of the temple which was written by the finger of God;

Alma 8:11 For he hath fasted many days because of the sins of this people and he is enhungered; And thou shall receive him into thy house and feed him, And he shall bless thee and thy house; And the blessing of the Lord shall rest upon thee and thy house.'

Alma 8:17 Yea, even all my kindred hath he blessed; And the blessing of the Lord hath rested upon us according to the words which he spake."

Alma 8:26 For ye are laying traps and snares to catch the holy ones of God; Ye are laying plans to pervert the ways of the righteous and to bring down the wrath of God upon your heads, even to the utter destruction of this people.

Alma 8:27 "Yea, well did Mosiah say, who was our last king, when he was about to deliver up the kingdom - having no one to confer it upon, causing that this people should be governed by their own voices -

Alma 8:36 But Amulek stretched forth his hand and cried the mightier unto them, saying: "O ye wicked and perverse generation! Why hath Satan got such great hold upon your hearts?

Alma 8:96 And He shall come into the world to redeem His people; And He shall take upon Him the transgressions of those who believe on His name, And these are they that shall have eternal life; And salvation cometh to none else.

Alma 9:25 And we would fain be glad if we could command the rocks and the mountains to fall upon us to hide us from His presence.

Alma 9:40 "And we see that death comes upon mankind, yea, the death which has been spoken of by Amulek, which is the temporal death; Nevertheless, there was a space granted unto man in which he might repent.

Alma 9:54 "But God did call on men in the name of His Son, this being the plan of redemption which was laid, saying: 'If ye will repent and harden not your hearts, then will I have mercy upon you through Mine Only Begotten Son;

Alma 9:58 Therefore, your iniquity provoketh Him, that He sendeth down His wrath upon you as in the first provocation,

Alma 9:60 "And now my brethren, seeing we know these things and they are true, Let us repent and harden not our hearts, that we provoke not the Lord our God to pull down His wrath upon us in these His second commandments which He hath given unto us,

Alma 9:72 "Now they were ordained after this manner, being called with a holy calling and ordained with a holy ordinance, And taking upon themselves the high priesthood of the holy order, which calling and ordinance and high priesthood is without beginning or end.

Alma 10:4 "Now they, after being sanctified by the Holy Ghost, having their garments made white, being pure and spotless before God, could not look upon sin save it were with abhorrence.

Alma 10:7 Yea, humble yourselves even as the people in the days of Melchizedek, who was also a high priest after this same order which I have spoken, who also took upon him the high priesthood forever;

Alma 10:20 "Yea, and He doth sound these glad tidings among all His people, yea, even to them that are scattered abroad upon the face of the earth; Wherefore, they have come unto us

Alma 10:30 "And may the Lord grant unto you repentance, That ye may not bring down His wrath upon you, That ye may not be bound down by the chains of hell, That ye may not suffer the second death."

Alma 10:44 And it came to pass that they spit upon him and cast him out from among them, And also all those who believed in the words which had been spoken by Alma and Amulek; And they cast them out and sent men to cast stones at them;

Alma 10:51 And He doth suffer that they may do this thing, or that the people may do this thing unto them according to the hardness of their hearts, that the judgments which He shall exercise upon them in His wrath may be just;

Alma 10:56 And he smote them with his hand upon their cheeks and saith unto them: "After what ye have seen, will ye preach again unto this people that they shall be cast into a lake of fire and brimstone?

Alma 10:58 And the judge smote them again upon their cheeks and asked: "What say ye for yourselves?"

Alma 10:69 And many such things did they say unto them, gnashing their teeth upon them and spitting upon them and saying, "How shall we look when we are damned?"

Alma 10:76 And when the last had spoken unto them, the power of God was upon Alma and Amulek and they arose and stood upon their feet; And Alma cried, saying: "How long shall we suffer these great afflictions, O Lord?

Alma 10:77 O Lord! give us strength according to our faith which is in Christ, even unto deliverance." And they brake the cords with which they were bound; And when the people saw this, they began to flee, for the fear of destruction had come upon them.

Alma 10:80 And the chief judge and the lawyers and priests and teachers which smote upon Alma and Amulek were slain by the fall thereof.

Alma 10:93 And they found him upon his bed sick, being very low with a burning fever, And his mind also was exceeding sore because of his iniquities;

Alma 10:100 And it came to pass that when Alma had said these words, that Zeezrom leaped upon his feet and began to walk;

Alma 11:12 And they came upon the armies of the Lamanites, And the Lamanites were scattered and driven into the wilderness; And they took their brethren which had been taken captive by the Lamanites and there was not one soul of them which had been lost that were taken captive;

Alma 11:17 Nevertheless, after many days, their dead bodies were heaped up upon the face of the earth and they were covered with a shallow covering;

Alma 11:32 And now, after the church having been established throughout all the land, having got the victory over the devil, And the word of God being preached in its purity in all the land and the Lord pouring out His blessings upon the people,

Alma 12:10 Now these were their journeyings, Having taken leave of their father Mosiah in the first year of the reign of the judges, Having refused the kingdom which their father was desirous to confer upon them, and also this was the minds of the people;

Alma 12:23 And their hearts were set upon riches, or upon gold and silver and precious stones,

Alma 12:25 Thus they were a very indolent people, many of whom did worship idols; And the curse of God had fallen upon them because of the traditions of their fathers, Notwithstanding the promises of the Lord were extended unto them on the conditions of repentance.

Alma 12:64 Behold, is not this the Great Spirit which doth send such great punishments upon this people because of their murders?"

Alma 12:110 And Ammon saith: "Yea, and He looketh down upon all the children of men; And He knows all the thoughts and intents of the heart, for by His hand were they all created from the beginning."

Alma 12:122 And he began to cry unto the Lord, saying: "O Lord, have mercy! According to Thy abundant mercy, which Thou hast had upon the people of Nephi, have upon me and my people!"

Alma 12:124 And it came to pass that his servants took him and carried him in unto his wife and laid him upon a bed; And he lay as if he were dead for the space of two days and two nights;

Alma 12:130 Therefore, if this is the case, I would that ye should go in and see my husband, for he has been laid upon his bed for the space of two days and two nights;

Alma 12:145 Now Ammon seeing the Spirit of the Lord poured out according to his prayers upon the Lamanites, his brethren, which had been the cause of so much mourning among the Nephites, or among all the people of God because of their iniquities and their traditions,

Alma 12:146 And Ammon fell upon his knees and began to pour out his soul in prayer and thanksgiving to God for what He had done for his brethren;

Alma 12:148 Now when the servants of the king had seen that they had fallen, they also began to cry unto God, for the fear of the Lord had come upon them also,

Alma 12:151 Therefore, when she saw that all the servants of Lamoni had fallen to the earth, and also her mistress, the queen, And the king and Ammon lay prostrate upon the earth, She knew that it was the power of God;

Alma 12:154 And there came a multitude; And to their astonishment they beheld the king and the queen and their servants prostrate upon the earth; And they all lay there as though they were dead;

Alma 12:156 And now the people began to murmur among themselves, Some saying that it was a great evil that had come upon them, or upon the king and his house because he had suffered that the Nephite should remain in the land.

Alma 12:157 But others rebuked them, saying: "The king hath brought this evil upon his house because he slew his servants who had had their flocks scattered at the Waters of Sebus."

Alma 12:160 Now one of them whose brother had been slain with the sword of Ammon, being exceeding angry with Ammon, drew his sword and went forth that he might let it fall upon Ammon to slay him; And as he lifted the sword to smite him, behold, he fell dead.

Alma 12:162 And it came to pass that when the multitude beheld that the man had fallen dead who lifted the sword to slay Ammon, fear came upon them all, And they durst not put forth their hands to touch him or any of those which had fallen.

Alma 12:169 And it came to pass that she went and took the queen by the hand, that perhaps she might raise her from the ground; And as soon as she touched her hand, she arose and stood upon her feet and cried with a loud voice, saying:

Alma 12:172 And when she had done this, she took the king, Lamoni, by the hand and behold, he arose and stood upon his feet;

Alma 12:179 And thus the work of the Lord did commence among the Lamanites; Thus the Lord did begin to pour out His Spirit upon them.

Alma 12:203 "And again, it is expedient that thou shouldst forbear; For if thou shouldst slay thy son - he being an innocent man - his blood would cry from the ground to the Lord his God for vengeance to come upon thee, And perhaps thou wouldst lose thy soul."

Alma 12:209 Now when Ammon saw that he had wrought upon the old king according to his desire, he saith unto him: "If thou wilt grant that my brethren may be cast out of prison, and also that Lamoni may retain his kingdom, And that ye be not displeased with him, but grant that he may do according to his own desires in whatsoever thing he thinketh, And then will I spare thee; Otherwise, I will smite thee to the earth."

Alma 13:52 And it came to pass that when Aaron had said these words, the king did bow down before the Lord upon his knees, Yea, even he did prostrate himself upon the earth and cried mightily, saying: "O God, Aaron hath told me that there is a God;

Alma 13:59 Now when the queen saw the fear of the servants, she also began to fear exceedingly, lest there should some evil come upon her,

Alma 13:62 Therefore, he put forth his hand and raised the king from the earth and said unto him, "Stand!" And he stood upon his feet, receiving his strength;

Alma 13:74 And it bordered upon the land which they called Desolation, It being so far northward that it came into the land which had been peopled and had been destroyed - of whose bones we have spoken - which was discovered by the people of Zarahemla, It being the place of their first landing; And they came from there up into the South Wilderness;

Alma 14:2 Yea, he sent a decree among them that they should not lay their hands on them to bind them or to cast them into prison, Neither should they spit upon them, nor smite them, nor cast them out of their synagogues, nor scourge them,

Alma 14:18 Therefore, the king consulted with Aaron and many of their priests concerning the name that they should take upon them, that they might be distinguished;

Alma 14:21 And it came to pass that the Amalekites and the Amulonites and the Lamanites - Which were in the Land of Amulon, and also in the Land of Helam, and which were in the Land of Jerusalem and, in fine, in all the land round about, Which had not been converted and had not taken upon them the name of Anti - Nephi - Lehi - Were stirred up by the Amalekites and by the Amulonites to anger against their brethren;

Alma 14:23 Now the king conferred the kingdom upon his son and he called his name Anti-Nephi-Lehi;

Alma 14:50 And thus they were in this attitude when the Lamanites began to fall upon them and began to slay them with the sword; And thus without meeting any resistance, they did slay a thousand and five of them; And we know that they are blessed, for they have gone to dwell with their God.

Alma 14:53 And it came to pass that they threw down their weapons of war and they would not take them again, for they were stung for the murders which they had committed; And they came down, even as their brethren, relying upon the mercies of those whose arms were lifted to slay them.

Alma 14:59 And behold, now it came to pass that those Lamanites were more angry because they had slain their brethren, Therefore, they swore vengeance upon the Nephites;

Alma 14:60 And they did no more attempt to slay the people of Anti-Nephi-Lehi at that time, But they took their armies and went over into the borders of the Land of Zarahemla and fell upon the people which were in the Land of Ammonihah and destroyed them;

Alma 14:77 And thus they did retain a hope, through faith, unto eternal salvation, relying upon the spirit of prophecy which spake of those things to come.

Alma 14:80 "And now I ask, what great blessings hath He bestowed upon us? Can ye tell?

Alma 14:82 And this is the blessing which hath been bestowed upon us - that we have been made instruments in the hands of God to bring about this great work.

Alma 14:99 Behold, we went forth, even in wrath, with mighty threatenings, to destroy His church; O then, why did He not consign us to an awful destruction? Yea, why did He not let the sword of His justice fall upon us and doom us to eternal despair?

Alma 14:101 Behold, He did not exercise His justice upon us, But in His great mercy hath brought us over that everlasting gulf of death and misery, even to the salvation of our souls.

Alma 14:112 "And now behold, we have come and been forth amongst them, And we have been patient in our sufferings, And we have suffered every privation; Yea, we have traveled from house to house, relying upon the mercies of the world - not upon the mercies of the world alone, but upon the mercies of God;

Alma 14:113 And we have entered into their houses and taught them, And we have taught them in their streets, Yea, and we have taught them upon their hills, And we have also entered into their temples and their synagogues and taught them;

Alma 14:114 And we have been cast out and mocked and spit upon and smote upon our cheeks, And we have been stoned and taken and bound with strong cords and cast into prison, And through the power and wisdom of God, we have been delivered again;

Alma 15:10 But Ammon saith unto him: "It is against the law of our brethren, which was established by my father, that there should be any slaves among them; Therefore, let us go down and rely upon the mercies of our brethren."

Alma 15:32 And they did look upon shedding the blood of their brethren with the greatest abhorrence; And they never could be prevailed upon to take up arms against their brethren.

Alma 15:33 And they never did look upon death with any degree of terror, for their hope and views of Christ and the resurrection; Therefore, death was swallowed up to them by the victory of Christ over it;

Alma 15:47 And the bodies of many thousands are laid low in the earth, while the bodies of many thousands are moldering in heaps upon the face of the earth;

Alma 15:53 Yea, I would declare unto every soul as with the voice of thunder, repentance and the plan of redemption, That they should repent and come unto our God, That there might be no more sorrow upon all the face of the earth.

Alma 16:13 And this antichrist whose name was Korihor - and the law could have no hold upon him - and he began to preach unto the people that there should be no Christ;

Alma 16:40 Now Alma saith unto him: "Thou knowest that we do not glut ourselves upon the labors of this people, For behold, I have labored, even from the commencement of the reign of the judges until now, with mine own hands for my support; Notwithstanding my many travels round about the land to declare the word of God unto my people,

Alma 16:54 "The scriptures are laid before thee, yea, and all things denote there is a God - Yea, even the earth and all things that are upon the face of it, yea, and its motion,

Alma 16:66 And Korihor put forth his hand and wrote, saying: "I know that I am dumb, for I cannot speak; And I know that nothing, save it were the power of God, could bring this upon me, Yea, and I always knew that there was a God.

Alma 16:69 And I taught them even until I had much success, insomuch that I verily believed that they were true; And for this cause I withstood the truth, even until I have brought this great curse upon me."

Alma 16:76 And it came to pass that as he went forth among the people - Yea, among a people which had separated themselves from the Nephites and called themselves Zoramites, being led by a man whose name was Zoram - And as he went forth amongst them, behold, he was run upon and trodden down, even until he was dead.

Alma 16:80 Now the Zoramites had gathered themselves together in a land which they called Antionum, Which was east of the Land of Zarahemla, Which lay nearly bordering upon the seashore, Which was south of the Land Jershon, Which also bordered upon the Wilderness South, which wilderness was full of the Lamanites.

Alma 16:82 And now, as the preaching of the word had had a greater tendency to lead the people to do that which was just, Yea, it had had more powerful effect upon the minds of the people than the sword or anything else which had happened unto them, Therefore, Alma thought it was expedient that they should try the virtue of the word of God.

Alma 16:90 Therefore, whosoever desired to worship must go forth and stand upon the top thereof, And stretch forth his hands toward the heavens and cry with a loud voice, saying: "Holy, Holy God! We believe that Thou art God, And we believe that Thou art holy, and that Thou wast a Spirit, and that Thou art a Spirit, and that Thou wilt be a Spirit forever.

Alma 16:100 Now when Alma saw this, his heart was grieved, For he saw that they were a wicked and a perverse people, Yea, he saw that their hearts were set upon gold and upon silver and upon all manner of fine goods,

Alma 16:106 And behold, their hearts are set upon them, And yet they cry unto Thee and say, 'We thank Thee, O God, for we are a chosen people unto Thee, ' while others shall perish.

Alma 16:111 "O Lord, wilt Thou grant unto me that I may have strength that I may suffer with patience these afflictions which shall come upon me because of the iniquity of this people?

Alma 16:113 Wilt Thou grant unto them that they may have strength that they may bear their afflictions which shall come upon them because of the iniquities of this people?

Alma 16:116 Now it came to pass that when Alma had said these words, that he clapped his hands upon all they which were with him;

Alma 16:117 And behold, as he clapped his hands upon them, they were filled with the Holy Spirit.

Alma 16:124 Now as Alma was teaching and speaking unto the people upon the Hill Onidah, there came a great multitude unto him which were those of which have been spoken which were poor in heart because of their poverty as to the things of the world;

Alma 16:151 "But behold, if ye will awake and arouse your faculties, even to an experiment upon my words, and exercise a particle of faith, Yea, even if ye can no more than desire to believe, let this desire work in you, Even until ye believe in a manner that ye can give place for a portion of my words.

Alma 16:172 And ye shall feast upon this fruit, even until ye are filled that ye hunger not, neither shall ye thirst;

Alma 16:188 For it is not written that Zenos alone spake of these things, But Zenoch also spake of these things, For behold, he saith: 'Thou art angry, O Lord, with this people, Because they will not understand of Thy mercies which Thou hast bestowed upon them, because of Thy Son.'

Alma 16:191 Behold, He was spoken of by Moses; Yea, and behold, a type was raised up in the wilderness that whosoever would look upon it might live, And many did look and live;

Alma 16:196 If so, wo shall come upon you; But if not so, then cast about your eyes and begin to believe in the Son of God, that He will come to redeem His people, And that He shall suffer and die to atone for their sins,

Alma 16:201 And now it came to pass that after Alma had spoken these words unto them, he sat down upon the ground, And Amulek arose and began to teach them, saying: "My brethren, I think that it is impossible that ye should be ignorant of the things which have been spoken concerning the coming of Christ, who is taught by us to be the Son of God;

Alma 16:205 My brother hath called upon the words of Zenos that redemption cometh through the Son of God, And also upon the words of Zenoch, And also he hath appealed unto Moses to prove that these things are true.

Alma 16:207 Behold, I say unto you that I do know that Christ shall come among the children of men to take upon Him the transgressions of His people, And that He shall atone for the sins of the world, For the Lord God hath spoken it.

Alma 16:218 "Therefore, may God grant unto you, my brethren, that ye might begin to exercise your faith unto repentance, That ye begin to call upon His holy name that He would have mercy upon you; Yea, cry unto Him for mercy, for He is mighty to save;

Alma 16:237 "And now my beloved brethren, I desire that ye should remember these things, And that ye should work out your salvation with fear before God, And that ye should no more deny the coming of Christ, That ye contend no more against the Holy Ghost, But that ye receive it and take upon you the name of Christ, That ye humble yourselves even to the dust and worship God in whatsoever place ye may be in, in spirit and in truth,

Alma 16:238 And that ye live in thanksgiving daily for the many mercies and blessings which He doth bestow upon you."Yea, and I also exhort you, my brethren, that ye be watchful unto prayer continually, That ye may not be led away by the temptations of the devil, That he may not overpower you, That ye may not become his subjects at the last day; For behold, he rewardeth you no good thing.

Alma 17:6 And behold, he spake unto us as it were the voice of thunder, And the whole earth did tremble beneath our feet, And we all fell to the earth, for the fear of the Lord came upon us.

Alma 17:16 Now, as my mind caught hold upon this thought, I cried within my heart, O Jesus, Thou Son of God, have mercy on me who art in the gall of bitterness and art encircled about by the everlasting chains of death!

Alma 17:20 Yea, and methought I saw, even as our father Lehi saw, God sitting upon His throne surrounded with numberless concourses of angels in the attitude of singing and praising their God, Yea, and my soul did long to be there;

Alma 17:21 But behold, my limbs did receive their strength again, And I stood upon my feet and did manifest unto the people that I had been born of God;

Alma 17:31 And now my son Helaman, I command you that ye take the records which have been entrusted with me, And I also command you that ye shall keep a record of this people, according as I have done, upon the plates of Nephi; And keep all these things sacred which I have kept, even as I have kept them - for it is for a wise purpose that they are kept -

Alma 17:32 And these plates of brass which contain these engravings, which have the records of the holy scriptures upon them, which have the genealogy of our forefathers, even from the beginning;

Alma 17:60 For behold, there is a curse upon all this land that destruction shall come upon all those workers of darkness - according to the power of God - when they are fully ripe. Therefore, I desire that this people might not be destroyed;

Alma 17:63 For behold, they murdered all the prophets of the Lord which came among them to declare unto them concerning their iniquities, And the blood of those which they murdered did cry unto the Lord their God for vengeance upon those which were their murderers.

Alma 17:64 And thus the judgments of God did come upon these workers of darkness and secret combinations; Yea, and cursed be the land forever and ever unto those workers of darkness and secret combinations, even unto destruction, except they repent before they are fully ripe.

Alma 17:69 Yea, let all thy doings be unto the Lord, And whithersoever thou goest, let it be in the Lord, Yea, let all thy thoughts be directed unto the Lord, Yea, let the affections of thy heart be placed upon the Lord forever, Counsel the Lord in all thy doings and He will direct thee for good,

Alma 19:11 I would not dwell upon your crimes to harrow up your soul, if it were not for your good;

Alma 19:14 O remember, and take it upon you and cross yourself in these things.

Alma 19:15 And I command you to take it upon you to counsel your elder brothers in your undertakings, For behold, thou art in thy youth and ye stand in need to be nourished by your brothers;

Alma 19:17 Behold, O my son, how great iniquity ye brought upon the Zoramites! For when they saw your conduct, they would not believe in my words.

Alma 19:47 Now this is the state of the souls of the wicked, yea, in darkness, And a state of awful, fearful, looking for, of the fiery indignation of the wrath of God upon them; Thus they remain in this state, as well as the righteous in paradise, until the time of their resurrection.

Alma 19:60 But behold, an awful death cometh upon the wicked, For they die as to things pertaining to things of righteousness, For they are unclean and no unclean thing can inherit the kingdom of God;

Alma 19:72 And now behold, my son, do not risk one more offense against your God upon those points of doctrine which ye hath hitherto risked to commit sin;

Alma 19:90 Therefore, as the soul could never die, And the fall had brought upon all mankind a spiritual death as well as a temporal - That is, they were cut off from the presence of the Lord - Therefore, it was expedient that mankind should be reclaimed from this spiritual death;

Alma 19:93 And now, there was no means to reclaim men from this fallen state which man had brought upon himself because of his own disobedience;

Alma 19:103 And if there was no law given, if men sinned, what could justice do? or mercy either? For they would have no claim upon the creature.

Alma 19:116 And now, my son, go thy way; Declare the word with truth and soberness, that thou mayest bring souls unto repentance, That the great plan of mercy may have claim upon them.

Alma 20:4 For behold, it came to pass that the Zoramites became Lamanites; Therefore, in the commencement of the eighteenth year, the people of the Nephites saw that the Lamanites were coming upon them, Therefore, they made preparations for war, Yea, they gathered together their armies in the Land of Jershon.

Alma 20:27 And it came to pass that the word of the Lord came unto Alma, And Alma informed the messengers of Moroni that the armies of the Lamanites were marching round about in the wilderness, That they might come over into the Land of Manti, That they might commence an attack upon the more weak part of the people;

Alma 20:39 And it came to pass that the Lamanites, when they saw the Nephites coming upon them in their rear, turned them about and began to contend with the army of Lehi; And the work of death commenced on both sides,

Alma 20:44 And Lehi retained his armies upon the bank of the River Sidon, that they should not cross.

Alma 20:45 And it came to pass that Moroni and his army met the army of the Lamanites in the valley on the other side of the River Sidon. And it came to pass that Moroni and his army began to fall upon them and to slay them.

Alma 20:55 And it came to pass that they turned upon the Lamanites, And they cried with one voice unto the Lord their God for their liberty and their freedom from bondage;

Alma 20:57 Now the Lamanites were more numerous, yea, by more than double the number of the Nephites; Nevertheless, they were driven insomuch that they were gathered together in one body in the valley upon the bank by the River Sidon;

Alma 20:72 "And now if ye do not this, behold, ye are in our hands, And I will command my men that they shall fall upon you and inflict the wounds of death in your bodies, that ye may become extinct;

Alma 20:80 Now as ye are in our hands, we will spill your blood upon the ground, Or ye shall submit to the conditions to which I have proposed."

Alma 20:84 And it came to pass that the soldier which stood by, which smote off the scalp of Zerahemnah, took up the scalp from off the ground by the hair and laid it upon the point of his sword and stretched it forth unto them, saying unto them with a loud voice - saying:

Alma 20:86 Now there were many when they heard these words and saw the scalp which was upon the sword, they were struck with fear, And many came forth and threw down their weapons of war at the feet of Moroni and entered into a covenant of peace;

Alma 20:89 And now Moroni was angry because of the stubbornness of the Lamanites, Therefore, he commanded his people that they should fall upon them and slay them.

Alma 20:100 And thus ended the record of Alma which was written upon the plates of Nephi.

Alma 21:18 "And as I have said, so shall it be; For this is the cursing and the blessing of God upon the land, For the Lord cannot look upon sin with the least degree of allowance."

Alma 21:39 Yea, and to seek to destroy the church of God and to destroy the foundation of liberty which God had granted unto them, Or which blessing God had sent upon the face of the land for the righteous' sake.

Alma 21:41 And it came to pass that he rent his coat, And he took a piece thereof and wrote upon it - "In memory of our God, our religion and freedom and our peace, our wives and our children" - And he fastened it upon the end of a pole thereof;

Alma 21:43 And he bowed himself to the earth, And he prayed mightily unto his God for the blessings of liberty to rest upon his brethren, so long as there should a band of Christians remain to possess the land -

Alma 21:45 Yea, all those who were true believers in Christ took upon them gladly the name of Christ, or Christians, as they were called, because of their belief in Christ, which should come - And therefore, at this time, Moroni prayed that the cause of the Christians and the freedom of the land might be favored.

Alma 21:47 And he saith: "Surely God shall not suffer that we who are despised because we take upon us the name of Christ shall be trodden down and destroyed, until we bring it upon us by our own transgressions."

Alma 21:48 And when Moroni had said these words, he went forth among the people, waving the rent of his garment in the air that all might see the writing which he had written upon the rent, And crying with a loud voice, saying:

Alma 21:49 "Behold, whosoever will maintain this title upon the land, Let them come forth in the strength of the Lord and enter into a covenant that they will maintain their rights and their religion, that the Lord God may bless them."

Alma 21:51 Or, in other words, if they should transgress the commandments of God, Or fall into transgression and be ashamed to take upon them the name of Christ, The Lord should rend them even as they had rent their garments.

Alma 21:71 And it came to pass also that he caused the title of liberty to be hoisted upon every tower which was in all the land which was possessed by the Nephites. And thus Moroni planted the standard of liberty among the Nephites,

Alma 21:86 And it came to pass that they had gathered themselves together upon the top of the mount, which was called Antipas, in preparation to battle.

Alma 21:89 And it came to pass that when it was night, he sent a secret embassy into the Mount Antipas, Desiring that the leader of those which were upon the mount, whose name was Lehonti, that he should come down to the foot of the mount, for he desired to speak with him.

Alma 21:133 Yea, a man whose heart did swell with thanksgiving to his God for the many privileges and blessings which He bestowed upon His people, A man who did labor exceedingly for the welfare and safety of his people,

Alma 21:152 But behold, how great was their disappointment, For behold, the Nephites had dug up a ridge of earth round about them which was so high that the Lamanites could not cast their stones and their arrows at them that they might take effect, Neither could they come upon them, save it was by their place of entrance.

Alma 21:154 Now the leaders of the Lamanites had supposed, because of the greatness of their numbers, Yea, they supposed that they should be privileged to come upon them as they had hitherto done;

Alma 21:162 And behold, his chief captains durst not attack the Nephites at the City of Ammonihah, For Moroni had altered the management of affairs among the Nephites insomuch that the Lamanites were disappointed in their places of retreat, And they could not come upon them,

Alma 21:179 There were about fifty which were wounded, which had been exposed to the arrows of the Lamanites through the pass, But they were shielded by their shields and their breastplates and their headplates, insomuch that their wounds were upon their legs, many of which were very severe.

Alma 22:2 And upon the top of these ridges of earth he caused that there should be timbers, yea, works of timbers built up to the height of a man round about the cities.

Alma 22:3 And he caused that upon those works of timbers that there should be a frame of pickets built upon the timbers round about, And they were strong and high. And he caused towers to be erected that overlooked those works of pickets.

Alma 22:4 And he caused places of security to be built upon those towers, that the stones and the arrows of the Lamanites could not hurt them;

Alma 22:13 Thus Moroni with his armies, which did increase daily because of the assurance of protection which his works did bring forth unto them, Therefore, they did seek to cut off the strength and the power of the Lamanites from off the lands of their possessions, That they should have no power upon the lands of their possessions.

Alma 22:22 And we see that these promises have been verified to the people of Nephi; For it has been their quarrelings and their contentions - yea, their murderings and their plunderings, their idolatry, their whoredoms and their abominations which were among themselves - which brought upon them their wars and their destructions.

Alma 22:26 And it came to pass that in the commencement of the twenty and fourth year of the reign of the judges, There would also have been peace among the people of Nephi had it not been for a contention which took place among them concerning the Land of Lehi and the Land of Morionton, which joined upon the borders of Lehi, Both of which were on the borders by the seashore.

Alma 22:29 And it came to pass that when the people of Morionton, which were led by a man whose name was Morionton, found that the people of Lehi had fled to the camp of Moroni, They were exceeding fearful lest the army of Moroni should come upon them and destroy them;

Alma 22:31 And behold, they would have carried this plan into effect, which would have been a cause to have been lamented, But behold, Morionton, being a man of much passion, Therefore, he was angry with one of his maidservants and he fell upon her and beat her much.

Alma 22:39 And upon their covenanting to keep the peace, they were restored to the Land of Morionton, And a union took place between them and the people of Lehi; And they were also restored to their lands.

Alma 22:41 Nevertheless, he had refused Alma to take possession of those records and those things which were esteemed by Alma and his fathers to be most sacred; Therefore, Alma had conferred them upon his son Helaman.

Alma 23:6 And those who were desirous that Pahoron should remain chief judge over the land took upon them the name of Freemen; And thus was the division among them, For the Freemen had sworn or covenanted to maintain their rights and the privileges of their religion by a free government.

Alma 23:24 And the remainder of those dissenters, rather than to be smote down to the earth by the sword, Yielded to the standard of liberty and were compelled to hoist the title of liberty upon their towers and in their cities and to take up arms in defense of their country.

Alma 23:43 And he caused that his armies should stand in readiness, lest the Lamanites had awoke and should come upon them.

Alma 24:13 And he also said unto him: "I would come unto you, But behold, the Lamanites are upon us in the borders of the land by the West Sea, And behold, I go against them; Therefore, I cannot come unto you."

Alma 24:18 And it came to pass that Teancum had received orders to make an attack upon the City of Mulek and retake it if it were possible.

Alma 24:19 And it came to pass that Teancum made preparations to make an attack upon the City of Mulek and march forth with his army against the Lamanites; But he saw that it was impossible that he could overpower them while they were in their fortifications;

Alma 24:24 And it came to pass that they sent embassies to the armies of the Lamanites, which protected the City of Mulek, to their leader whose name was Jacob, desiring him that he would come out with his armies to meet them upon the plains between the two cities.

Alma 24:25 But behold, Jacob, which was a Zoramite, would not come out with his army to meet them upon the plains.

Alma 24:26 And it came to pass that Moroni having no hopes of meeting them upon fair grounds, Therefore, he resolved upon a plan that he might decoy the Lamanites out of their strongholds;

Alma 24:40 And Moroni commanded his men that they should fall upon them until they had given up their weapons of war.

Alma 24:45 And Lehi pressed upon their rear with such fury with his strong men that the Lamanites in the rear delivered up their weapons of war, And the remainder of them, being much confused, knew not whether to go or to strike.

Alma 24:55 And he caused that they should build a breastwork of timbers upon the inner bank of the ditch; And they cast up dirt out of the ditch against the breastwork of timbers.

Alma 24:58 Now Moroni was compelled to cause the Lamanites to labor because it was easy to guard them while at their labor; And he desired all his forces when he should make an attack upon the Lamanites.

Alma 25:4 Therefore, Moroni resolved upon a stratagem to obtain as many prisoners of the Nephites from the Lamanites as it were possible; Therefore, he wrote an epistle and sent it by the servant of Ammaron, the same who had brought an epistle to Moroni.

Alma 25:9 "And now behold, we are prepared to receive you; Yea, and except you withdraw your purposes, Behold, ye will pull down the wrath of that God whom you have rejected upon you, yea, even to your utter destruction;

Alma 25:10 But, as the Lord liveth, our armies shall come upon you, except ye withdraw, And ye shall soon be visited with death; For we will retake our cities and our lands, Yea, and we will maintain our religion and the cause of our God.

Alma 25:17 "Behold, I will avenge his blood upon you; Yea, and I will come upon you with my armies for I fear not your threatenings.

Alma 25:44 But behold, this was not the desire of Moroni; He did not delight in murder or bloodshed, But he delighted in the saving of his people from destruction; And for this cause he might not bring upon him injustice, he would not fall upon the Lamanites and destroy them in their drunkenness.

Alma 26:20 "And thus were we favored of the Lord, For had they come upon us in this our weakness, they might have perhaps destroyed our little army; But thus were we favored -

Alma 26:23 Now we were desirous that the Lamanites should come upon us, For we were not desirous to make an attack upon them in their stronghold.

Alma 26:24 "And it came to pass that we kept spies out round about to watch the movements of the Lamanites, That they might not pass us by night nor by day to make an attack upon our other cities which were on the northward;

Alma 26:25 For we knew in those cities they were not sufficiently strong to meet them; Therefore, we were desirous - if they should pass by us - to fall upon them in their rear, And thus bring them up in the rear at the same time they were met in the front;

Alma 26:34 "Now when we saw that the Lamanites began to grow uneasy on this wise, we were desirous to bring a stratagem into an effect upon them;

Alma 26:50 "And it came to pass that again when the light of the morning came, we saw the Lamanites upon us, And we did flee before them;

Alma 26:56 "Now they never had fought, yet they did not fear death; And they did think more upon the liberty of their fathers than they did upon their lives; Yea, they had been taught by their mothers that if they did not doubt, that God would deliver them;

Alma 26:62 "And it came to pass that the Lamanites took courage and began to pursue them; And thus were the Lamanites pursuing them with great vigor when Helaman came upon their rear with his two thousand and began to slay them exceedingly, Insomuch that the whole army of the Lamanites halted and turned upon Helaman.

Alma 26:63 "Now when the people of Antipus saw that the Lamanites had turned them about, They gathered together their men and came again upon the rear of the Lamanites.

Alma 26:67 And with such mighty power did they fall upon the Lamanites that they did frighten them; And for this cause did the Lamanites deliver themselves up as prisoners of war.

Alma 26:79 "And it came to pass that we did camp round about the city for many nights; But we did sleep upon our swords and keep guards, that the Lamanites could not come upon us by night and slay us, which they attempted many times; But as many times as they attempted this, their blood was spilt.

Alma 26:91 And now behold, we did not inquire of them concerning the prisoners, For behold, the Lamanites were upon us, And they returned in season to save us from falling into their hands;

Alma 26:109 And they cried unto us, saying: "Behold, the armies of the Lamanites are a marching toward the City of Cumeni; And behold, they will fall upon them and will destroy our people!"

Alma 26:111 'And it came to pass because of their rebellion, we did cause that our swords should come upon them.

Alma 26:112 'And it came to pass that they did, in a body, run upon our swords, in the which the greater number of them were slain, And the remainder of them broke through and fled from us.

Alma 26:130 "And now the cause of these our embarrassments, or the cause why they did not send more strength unto us, we knew not; Therefore, we were grieved, and also filled with fear, lest by any means the judgments of God should come upon our land to our overthrow and utter destruction;

Alma 26:141 And when they had come and were about to fall upon us with the sword, I caused that my men, those which were with me, should retreat into the wilderness.

Alma 26:145 "And it came to pass that when they had cut them off, They ran to the city and fell upon the guards which were left to guard the city, insomuch that they did destroy them and did take possession of the city.

Alma 27:20 "Can you think to sit upon your thrones in a state of thoughtless stupor, while your enemies are spreading the work of death around you?

Alma 27:26 But behold, ye have neglected them insomuch that the blood of thousands shall come upon your heads for vengeance; Yea, for known unto God were all their cries and all their sufferings.

Alma 27:27 "Behold, could ye suppose that ye could sit upon your thrones, And because of the exceeding goodness of God, ye could do nothing and He would deliver you? Behold, if ye have supposed this, ye have supposed in vain.

Alma 27:29 "And behold, it is to your condemnation; For the Lord suffereth the righteous to be slain that His justice and judgment may come upon the wicked; Therefore, ye need not suppose that the righteous are lost because they are slain; But behold, they do enter into the rest of the Lord their God.

Alma 27:30 "And now behold, I say unto you, I fear exceedingly that the judgments of God will come upon this people because of their exceeding slothfulness, Yea, even the slothfulness of our government and their exceeding great neglect toward their brethren, yea, toward those which have been slain.

Alma 27:35 "But behold, now the Lamanites are coming upon us, And they are murdering our people with the sword, yea, our women and our children, Taking possession of our lands, and also carrying them away captive, Causing them that they should suffer all manner of afflictions; And this because of the great wickedness of those who are seeking for power and authority, yea, even those Kingmen.

Alma 27:40 Or do ye suppose that the Lord will still deliver us while we sit upon our thrones and do not make use of the means which the Lord hath provided for us?

Alma 27:42 "Do ye suppose that God will look upon you as guiltless, while ye sit still and behold these things? Behold, I say unto you, Nay!

Alma 27:45 "And except ye grant mine epistle and come out and show unto me a true spirit of freedom, And strive to strengthen and fortify our armies and grant unto them food for their support, Behold, I will leave a part of my Freemen to maintain this part of our land; And I will leave the strength and the blessings of God upon them, that none other power can operate against them - and this because of their exceeding faith and their patience in their tribulations -

Alma 27:48 "Behold, it is time; Yea, the time is now at hand, that except ye do bestir yourselves in the defense of your country and your little ones, the sword of justice doth hang over you - Yea, and it shall fall upon you and visit you even to your utter destruction.

Alma 28:22 "Gather together whatsoever force ye can upon your march hither; And we will go speedily against those dissenters in the strength of our God, according to the faith which is in us,

Alma 29:12 And thus ended the thirtieth year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi, Moroni and Pahoron having restored peace to the Land of Zarahemla among their own people, Having inflicted death upon all those who were not true to the cause of freedom.

Alma 29:22 Now Moroni was desirous that the Lamanites should come out to battle against them upon the plains; But the Lamanites knowing of their exceeding great courage and beholding the greatness of their numbers, Therefore, they durst not come out against them; Therefore, they did not come to battle in that day.

Alma 29:23 And when the night came, Moroni went forth in the darkness of the night and came upon the top of the wall to spy out in what part of the city the Lamanites did camp with their army.

Alma 29:26 And it came to pass that Moroni caused that his men should march forth and come up upon the top of the wall, And let themselves down into that part of the city - yea, even on the west - where the Lamanites did not camp with their armies.

Alma 29:36 And it came to pass that Moroni and his army did pursue them from city to city, until they were met by Lehi and Teancum; And the Lamanites fled from Lehi and Teancum, even down upon the borders by the seashore, until they came to the Land of Moroni.

Alma 29:40 For behold, the Nephites and the Lamanites also were weary because of the greatness of the march; Therefore, they did not resolve upon any stratagem in the nighttime, save it were Teancum;

Alma 29:47 Now it came to pass that Moroni marched forth on the morrow and came upon the Lamanites, insomuch that they did slay them with a great slaughter; And they did drive them out of the land; And they did flee, even that they did not return at that time against the Nephites.

Alma 29:54 And Pahoron did return to his judgment seat; And Helaman did take upon him again to preach unto the people the word of God, For because of so many wars and contentions, it had become expedient that a regulation should be made again in the church;

Alma 30:15 Therefore, it became expedient for Shiblon to confer those sacred things before his death upon the son of Helaman, whose name was called Helaman, being called after the name of his father.

Alma 30:17 Nevertheless, these things were to be kept sacred and handed down from one generation to another; Therefore, in this year they had been conferred upon Helaman before the death of Shiblon.

Helaman 1:9 Now when those people which were desirous that he should be their governor saw that he was condemned unto death, Therefore, they were angry. And behold, they sent forth one, Kishcumen, even to the judgment seat of Pahoron, And murdered Pahoron as he sat upon the judgment seat;

Helaman 1:20 But it came to pass that Coriantumr did march forth at the head of his numerous host and came upon the inhabitants of the city, And their march was with such exceeding great speed that there was no time for the Nephites to gather together their armies;

Helaman 1:26 And supposing that their greatest strength was in the center of the land, Therefore, he did march forth, giving them no time to assemble themselves together, save it were in small bodies; And in this manner they did fall upon them and cut them down to the earth.

Helaman 2:7 And there being but little timber upon the face of the land; Nevertheless, the people which went forth became exceeding expert in the working of cement; Therefore, they did build houses of cement in the which they did dwell.

Helaman 2:9 And the people which were in the Land Northward did dwell in tents and in houses of cement, And they did suffer whatsoever tree should spring up upon the face of the land, that it should grow up, That in time they might have timber to build their houses, yea, their cities and their temples and their synagogues and their sanctuaries and all manner of their buildings.

Helaman 2:14 But behold, there are many books and many records of every kind, And they have been kept chiefly by the Nephites; And they have been handed down from one generation to another by the Nephites, even until they have fallen into transgression, And have been murdered, plundered and hunted, And driven forth and slain and scattered upon the face of the earth, And mixed with the Lamanites until they are no more called the Nephites, becoming wicked and wild and ferocious, Yea, even becoming Lamanites.

Helaman 2:23 And so great was the prosperity of the church, And so many the blessings which were poured out upon the people, That even the high priests and the teachers were themselves astonished beyond measure.

Helaman 2:25 Thus we may see that the Lord is merciful unto all who will, in the sincerity of their hearts, call upon His holy name. Yea, thus we see that the gate of heaven is open unto all, even to those who will believe on the name of Jesus Christ, which is the Son of God.

Helaman 2:26 Yea, we see that whosoever will lay hold upon the word of God, which is quick and powerful, Which shall divide asunder all the cunning and the snares and the wiles of the devil, And lead the man of Christ in a strait and narrow course across that everlasting gulf of misery which is prepared to engulf the wicked, And land their souls, yea, their immortal souls, at the right hand of God in the kingdom of heaven, To sit down with Abraham and Isaac and with Jacob and with all our holy fathers to go no more out.

Helaman 2:32 And it came to pass that the fifty and second year ended in peace also, Save it were the exceeding great pride which had got into the hearts of the people; And it was because of their exceeding great riches and their prosperity in the land; And it did grow upon them from day to day.

Helaman 2:45 And it was because of the pride of their hearts, because of their exceeding riches; Yea, it was because of their oppression to the poor - withholding their food from the hungry, withholding their clothing from the naked - And smiting their humble brethren upon the cheek, Making a mock of that which was sacred, Denying the spirit of prophecy and of revelation, Murdering, plundering, lying, stealing, committing adultery, raising up in great contentions, And dissenting away into the Land of Nephi, among the Lamanites

Helaman 2:66 And it came to pass that Nephi had become weary because of their iniquity, And he yielded up the judgment seat and took it upon him to preach the word of God all the remainder of his days, And his brother Lehi also, all the remainder of his days; For they remembered the words which their father Helaman spake unto them.

Helaman 2:74 "And now my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the Rock of our Redeemer, which is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; That when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind,

Helaman 2:75 Yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, It shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, Because of the Rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men buildeth, they cannot fall."

Helaman 2:85 And it came to pass that Nephi and Lehi were encircled about as if by fire, Even insomuch that they durst not lay their hands upon them for fear, lest they should be burned.

Helaman 2:88 For they saw that the Lamanites durst not lay their hands upon them; Neither durst they come near unto them, but stood as if they were struck dumb with amazement.

Helaman 2:92 And it came to pass that they were overshadowed with a cloud of darkness, And an awful, solemn fear came upon them.

Helaman 2:98 And it came to pass that the Lamanites could not flee because of the cloud of darkness which did overshadow them; Yea, and also they were immovable because of the fear which did come upon them.

Helaman 2:110 And Nephi and Lehi were in the midst of them - Yea, they were encircled about, Yea, they were as if in the midst of a flaming fire, yet it did harm them not, Neither did it take hold upon the walls of the prison - And they were filled with that joy which is unspeakable and full of glory;

Helaman 2:136 And it came to pass that in the sixty and sixth year of the reign of the judges, Behold, Cezoram was murdered by an unknown hand as he sat upon the judgment seat.

Helaman 2:139 For behold, the Lord had blessed them so long with the riches of the world, That they had not been stirred up to anger, to wars, nor to bloodsheds; Therefore, they began to set their hearts upon their riches;

Helaman 2:156 And behold, it is he which is the author of all sin; And behold, he doth carry on his works of darkness and secret murder, And doth hand down their plots and their oaths and their covenants and their plans of awful wickedness from generation to generation, According as he can get hold upon the hearts of the children of men.

Helaman 2:157 And now behold, he had got great hold upon the hearts of the Nephites, Yea, insomuch that they had become exceeding wicked;

Helaman 2:163 And thus we see that the Lord began to pour out His Spirit upon the Lamanites because of their easiness and willingness to believe in His word.

Helaman 2:166 And thus they did obtain the sole management of the government, Insomuch that they did trample under their feet and smite and rend and turn their backs upon the poor and the meek and humble followers of God.

Helaman 3:5 Now this great iniquity had come upon the Nephites in the space of not many years - And when Nephi saw it, his heart was swollen with sorrow within his breast;

Helaman 3:10 And behold, now it came to pass that it was upon a tower which was in the garden of Nephi - which was by the highway which led to the chief market which was in the City of Zarahemla -

Helaman 3:11 Therefore, as Nephi had bowed himself upon the tower which was in his garden - which tower was also near unto the garden gate which led by the highway -

Helaman 3:12 And it came to pass that there were certain men passing by and saw Nephi as he was a pouring out his soul unto God upon the tower; And they ran and told the people what they had seen; And the people came together in multitudes that they might know the cause of so great mourning for the wickedness of the people.

Helaman 3:15 "Yea, because I have got upon my tower, that I might pour out my soul unto my God because of the exceeding sorrow of my heart, which is because of your iniquities,

Helaman 3:17 Yea, ye had ought to marvel because ye are given away, that the devil hath got so great hold upon your hearts; Yea, how could ye have given away to the enticing of him who art seeking to hurl away your souls down to everlasting misery and endless wo?

Helaman 3:23 And ye have set your hearts upon the riches and the vain things of this world, For the which ye do murder and plunder and steal and bear false witness against your neighbor and do all manner of iniquity; And for this cause, wo shall come unto you, except ye shall repent!

Helaman 3:33 And they cried out against him, saying unto the people: "Why do ye not seize upon this man and bring him forth, that he may be condemned according to the crime which he hath done?

Helaman 3:36 And those judges were angry with him because he spake plain unto them concerning their secret works of darkness; Nevertheless, they durst not lay their own hands upon him, For they feared the people, lest they should cry out against them. Therefore, they did cry unto the people, saying: "Why do ye suffer this man to revile against us?

Helaman 3:40 Yea, behold, all the judgments will come upon us which he hath testified unto us, For we know that he hath testified aright unto us concerning our iniquities -

Helaman 3:44 Therefore, he was constrained to speak more unto them, saying: "Behold, my brethren, have ye not read that God gave power unto one man - even Moses - to smite upon the waters of the Red Sea? And they parted hither and thither, insomuch that the Israelites, which were our fathers, came through upon dry ground? And the waters closed upon the armies of the Egyptians and swallowed them up?

Helaman 3:45 "And now behold, if God gave unto this man such power, Then why should ye dispute among yourselves and say that He hath given unto me no power whereby I may know concerning the judgments that shall come upon you except ye repent?

Helaman 3:48 And as many as should look upon that serpent should live, Even so, as many as should look upon the Son of God with faith, having a contrite spirit, might live, even unto that life which is eternal.

Helaman 3:72 But now when they saw, they believed; And fear came upon them lest all the judgments which Nephi had spoken should come upon the people; Therefore, they did quake and had fallen to the earth.

Helaman 3:100 "But behold, ye shall examine him, And ye shall find blood upon the skirts of his cloak.

Helaman 3:101 "And when ye have seen this, ye shall say: 'From whence cometh this blood? Do we not know that it is the blood of your brother?' "And then shall he tremble and shall look pale, even as if death had come upon him.

Helaman 3:102 "And then shall ye say: 'Because of this fear and this paleness which hath come upon your face, Behold, we know that thou art guilty.'

Helaman 3:103 "And then shall greater fear come upon him; And then shall he confess unto you and deny no more that he hath done this murder.

Helaman 3:113 And it came to pass that Nephi went his way toward his own house, pondering upon the things which the Lord had shown unto him.

Helaman 3:125 And behold, now it came to pass that when the Lord had spoken these words unto Nephi, he did stop and did not go unto his own house, But did return unto the multitudes which were scattered about upon the face of the land, And began to declare unto them the word of the Lord which had been spoken unto him concerning their destruction, if they did not repent.

Helaman 3:128 And it came to pass that when Nephi had declared unto them the word, Behold, they did still harden their hearts and would not hearken unto his words; Therefore, they did revile against him and did seek to lay their hands upon him, that they might cast him into prison.

Helaman 4:5 And so it was done according to the words of Nephi; And there was a great famine upon the land among all the people of Nephi.

Helaman 4:16 "O Lord, wilt Thou hearken unto me and cause that it may be done according to my words, And send forth rain upon the face of the earth, that she may bring forth her fruit and her grain in the season of grain?

Helaman 4:20 And it came to pass that in the seventy and sixth year, the Lord did turn away His anger from the people and caused that rain should fall upon the earth, Insomuch that it did bring forth her fruit in the season of her fruit.

Helaman 4:30 And it came to pass that in the eightieth year of the reign of the judges over the people of Nephi, There were a certain number of the dissenters from the people of Nephi which had some years before gone over unto the Lamanites and took upon themselves the name of Lamanites,

Helaman 4:35 And it came to pass that it was expedient that there should be a stop put to this work of destruction; Therefore, they sent an army of strong men into the wilderness and upon the mountains to search out this band of robbers and to destroy them;

Helaman 4:40 And it came to pass that thus ended this year; And the robbers did still increase and wax strong, insomuch that they did defy the whole armies of the Nephites, and also of the Lamanites; And they did cause great fear to come unto the people upon all the face of the land;

Helaman 4:54 Yea, how quick to hearken unto the words of the evil one and to set their hearts upon the vain things of the world! Yea, how quick to be lifted up in pride! Yea, how quick to boast and do all manner of that which is iniquity!

Helaman 4:64 Behold, if He saith unto this mountain, "Be thou raised up and come over and fall upon that city, that it be buried up" - And behold, it is done.

Helaman 5:5 And it came to pass that they would not suffer that he should enter into the city; Therefore, he went and got upon the wall thereof and stretched forth his hand, And cried with a loud voice and prophesied unto the people whatsoever things the Lord put into his heart.

Helaman 5:6 And he said unto them: "Behold, I, Samuel, a Lamanite, do speak the words of the Lord which He doth put into my heart; And behold, He hath put it into my heart to say unto this people that the sword of justice hangeth over this people; And four hundred years passeth not away save the sword of justice falleth upon this people -

Helaman 5:22 'And behold, a curse shall come upon the land, ' saith the Lord of Hosts, 'because of the people's sake-Which is upon the land, yea, because of their wickedness and their abominations.

Helaman 5:26 'And the day shall come that they shall hide up their treasures because they have set their hearts upon riches;

Helaman 5:27 And because they have set their hearts upon their riches and will hide up their treasures when they shall flee before their enemies - Because they will not hide them up unto Me - cursed be they, and also their treasures; And in that day shall they be smitten, ' saith the Lord.

Helaman 5:29 And also are your riches cursed because ye have set your hearts upon them and hath not hearkened unto the words of Him who gave them unto you.

Helaman 5:32 For this cause hath the Lord God caused that a curse should come upon the land, and also upon your riches; And this because of your iniquities.

Helaman 5:42 And in the days of your poverty, ye cannot retain them; And in the days of your poverty, ye shall cry unto the Lord; And in vain shall ye cry, For your desolation is already come upon you, And your destruction is made sure.

Helaman 5:65 "And ye shall hear my words! For, for this intent I have come up upon the walls of this city, That ye might hear and know of the judgments of God which doth await you because of your iniquities; And also that ye might know the conditions of repentance;

Helaman 5:73 But whosoever repenteth not is hewn down and cast into the fire, And there cometh upon them again a spiritual death, yea, a second death, For they are cut off again as to things pertaining to righteousness.

Helaman 5:76 And there shall be no light upon the face of the land, even from the time that He shall suffer death, for the space of three days, to the time that He shall rise again from the dead.

Helaman 5:77 "Yea, at the time that He shall yield up the ghost, There shall be thunderings and lightnings for the space of many hours; And the earth shall shake and tremble; And the rocks which are upon the face of the earth - which are both above the earth and beneath, which ye know at this time is solid, or the more part of it is one solid mass - shall be broken up;

Helaman 5:78 Yea, they shall be rent in twain and shall ever after be found in seams and in cracks and in broken fragments upon the face of the whole earth, Yea, both above the earth and both beneath.

Helaman 5:83 "And the angel said unto me that many shall see greater things than these, To the intent that they might believe that these signs and these wonders should come to pass upon all the face of this land; To the intent that there should be no cause for unbelief among the children of men;

Helaman 5:84 And this to the intent that whosoever will believe, might be saved, And that whosoever will not believe, a righteous judgment might come upon them; And also, if they are condemned, they bring upon themselves their own condemnation.

Helaman 5:103 And notwithstanding the many afflictions which they shall have, And notwithstanding they shall be driven to and fro upon the face of the earth and be hunted and shall be smitten and scattered abroad, having no place for refuge, The Lord shall be merciful unto them;

Helaman 5:109 And now it came to pass that there were many which heard the words of Samuel the Lamanite which he spake upon the walls of the city;

Helaman 5:111 But as many as there were which did not believe in the words of Samuel were angry with him; And they cast stones at him upon the wall, and also many shot arrows at him as he stood upon the wall;

Helaman 5:127 Nevertheless, the people began to harden their hearts - all, save it were the most believing part of them, both of the Nephites, and also of the Lamanites - And began to depend upon their own strength and upon their own wisdom, saying:

Helaman 5:134 And they will, by the cunning and the mysterious arts of the evil one, work some great mystery which we cannot understand, which will keep us down to be servants to their words, and also servants unto them, For we depend upon them for to teach us the word;

Helaman 5:137 And they were much disturbed, for Satan did stir them up to do iniquity continually; Yea, he did go about spreading rumors and contentions upon all the face of the land, That he might harden the hearts of the people against that which was good and against that which should come;

Helaman 5:138 And notwithstanding the signs and the wonders which were wrought among the people of the Lord, and the many miracles which they did, Satan did get great hold upon the hearts of the people upon all the face of the land.

3 Nephi 1:11 And it came to pass that he went out and bowed himself down upon the earth and cried mightily to his God in behalf of his people, yea, those which were about to be destroyed because of their faith in the tradition of their fathers.

3 Nephi 1:19 Yea, and in fine, all the people upon the face of the whole earth - from the west to the east, both in the Land North and in the Land South - were so exceedingly astonished that they fell to the earth,

3 Nephi 1:33 And it came to pass that the ninety and third year did also pass away in peace, save it were for the Gaddianton robbers which did dwell upon the mountains, which did infest the land;

3 Nephi 2:4 And it seemeth a pity unto me, most noble Lachoneus, that ye should be so foolish and vain as to suppose that ye can stand against so many brave men which are at my command, Which do now at this time stand in their arms and do await, with great anxiety, for the word, 'Go down upon the Nephites and destroy them.'

3 Nephi 2:7 "Therefore, I write unto you desiring that ye would yield up unto this my people your cities, your lands and your possessions, Rather than that they should visit you with the sword and that destruction should come upon you;

3 Nephi 2:10 And they shall not stay their hand and shall spare not, But shall slay you and shall let fall the sword upon you, yea, even until ye shall become extinct.

3 Nephi 2:21 And so great and marvelous were the words and prophecies of Lachoneus that they did cause fear to come upon all the people, And they did exert themselves in their might to do according to the words of Lachoneus.

3 Nephi 2:25 Now the people said unto Gidgiddoni: "Pray unto the Lord, And let us go up upon the mountains and into the wilderness, that we may fall upon the robbers and destroy them in their own lands."

3 Nephi 2:34 Now Lachoneus did cause that they should gather themselves together in the Land Southward because of the great curse which was upon the Land Northward; And they did fortify themselves against their enemies,

3 Nephi 2:47 And they durst not spread themselves upon the face of the land insomuch that they could raise grain, lest the Nephites should come upon them and slay them;

3 Nephi 2:50 And they were girded about after the manner of robbers; And they had a lambskin about their loins and they were dyed in blood; And their heads were shorn and they had headplates upon them;

3 Nephi 2:55 Therefore, when the armies of Giddianhi did rush upon them, they were prepared to meet them - Yea, in the strength of the Lord they did receive them. And the battle commenced in this, the sixth month;

3 Nephi 2:66 But behold, this was an advantage unto the Nephites, For it was impossible for the robbers to lay siege sufficiently long to have any effect upon the Nephites because of their much provision which they had laid up in store and because of the scantiness of provisions among the robbers;

3 Nephi 2:69 And the Nephites were continually marching out by day and by night and falling upon their armies and cutting them off by thousands and by tens of thousands;

3 Nephi 2:70 And thus it became the desire of the people of Zemnarihah to withdraw from their design because of the great destruction which came upon them by night and by day.

3 Nephi 2:75 And there were many thousands which did yield themselves up prisoners unto the Nephites, And the remainder of them were slain; And their leader, Zemnarihah, was taken and hanged upon a tree - yea, even upon the top thereof - until he was dead;

3 Nephi 2:107 And as surely as the Lord liveth will He gather in from the four quarters of the earth all the remnant of the seed of Jacob which are scattered abroad upon all the face of the earth.

3 Nephi 3:4 And they granted unto those robbers which had entered into a covenant to keep the peace of the land - which were desirous to remain Lamanites - lands according to their numbers, that they might have with their labors wherewith to subsist upon; And thus they did establish peace in all the land;

3 Nephi 3:36 Now behold, I will show unto you that they did not establish a king over the land, But in this same year - yea, the thirtieth year - they did destroy upon the judgment seat, yea, did murder the chief judge of the land;

3 Nephi 3:40 Now all this was done and there were no wars as yet among them; And all this iniquity had come upon the people because they did yield themselves unto the power of Satan;

3 Nephi 3:44 Now this secret combination which had brought so great iniquity upon the people did gather themselves together and did place at their head a man whom they did call Jacob, And they did call him their king;

3 Nephi 3:64 And as many as had devils cast out from them and were healed of their sicknesses and their infirmities did truly manifest unto the people that they had been wrought upon by the Spirit of God and had been healed;

3 Nephi 4:9 And the earth was carried up upon the City of Moronihah, that in the place of the city thereof there became a great mountain; And there was a great and terrible destruction in the Land Southward.

3 Nephi 4:15 And behold, the rocks were rent in twain, yea, they were broken up upon the face of the whole earth, Insomuch that they were found in broken fragments and in seams and in cracks upon all the face of the land.

3 Nephi 4:17 Nevertheless, all these great and terrible things were done in about the space of three hours - And then, behold, there was darkness upon the face of the land.

3 Nephi 4:18 And it came to pass that there was thick darkness upon the face of all the land, insomuch that the inhabitants thereof which had not fallen could feel the vapor of darkness;

3 Nephi 4:20 And there was not any light seen, neither fire, nor glimmer, neither the sun, nor the moon, nor the stars, For so great were the mists of darkness which were upon the face of the land.

3 Nephi 4:22 Yea, great were the groanings of the people because of the darkness and the great destruction which had come upon them.

3 Nephi 4:26 And it came to pass that there was a voice heard among all the inhabitants of the earth upon all the face of this land, crying: "Wo! Wo! Wo unto this people! Wo unto the inhabitants of the whole earth, except they shall repent!

3 Nephi 4:40 "And many great destructions have I caused to come upon this land and upon this people because of their wickedness and their abominations.

3 Nephi 4:67 And they were spared and were not sunk and buried up in the earth; And they were not drowned in the depths of the sea; And they were not burned by fire, Neither were they fallen upon and crushed to death;

3 Nephi 4:73 And these things, which testify of us, are they not written upon the plates of brass which our father Lehi brought out of Jerusalem?

3 Nephi 4:74 And it came to pass that in the ending of the thirty and fourth year, Behold, I will show unto you that the people of Nephi which were spared, and also they which had been called Lamanites which had been spared, did have great favors shown unto them and great blessings poured out upon their heads, Insomuch that soon after the ascension of Christ into heaven, He did truly manifest Himself unto them, showing His body unto them and ministering unto them;

3 Nephi 5:10 And He was clothed in a white robe, And He came down and stood in the midst of them; And the eyes of the whole multitude were turned upon Him, And they durst not open their mouths, even one to another; And they wist not what it meant, for they thought it was an angel that had appeared unto them.

3 Nephi 5:12 And behold, I Am the light and the life of the world; And I have drunk out of that bitter cup which the Father hath given Me, And have glorified the Father in taking upon Me the sins of the world, in the which I have suffered the will of the Father in all things from the beginning."

3 Nephi 5:41 "Verily, verily I say unto you that this is My doctrine; And whoso buildeth upon this, buildeth upon My rock, And the gates of hell shall not prevail against them.

3 Nephi 5:42 "And whoso shall declare more or less than this and establish it for My doctrine, The same cometh of evil and is not built upon My rock; But he buildeth upon a sandy foundation, And the gates of hell standeth open to receive such when the floods come and the winds beat upon them;

3 Nephi 5:110 "Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt and thieves break through and steal,

3 Nephi 6:1 And now it came to pass that when Jesus had spoken these words, He looked upon the twelve whom He had chosen and saith unto them: "Remember the words which I have spoken,

3 Nephi 6:36 "Therefore, whoso heareth these sayings of Mine and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man which built his house upon a rock - And the rain descended and the floods came, And the winds blew and beat upon that house, And it fell not, for it was founded upon a rock;

3 Nephi 6:37 And everyone that heareth these sayings of Mine and doeth them not shall be likened unto a foolish man which built his house upon the sand - And the rain descended and the floods came, And the winds blew and beat upon that house, And it fell and great was the fall of it."

3 Nephi 7:28 That these sayings which ye shall write shall be kept and shalt be manifested unto the Gentiles, That through the fullness of the Gentiles, the remnant of their seed - which shall be scattered forth upon the face of the earth because of their unbelief - may be brought in, or may be brought to a knowledge of Me, their Redeemer;

3 Nephi 7:32 'But wo, ' saith the Father, 'unto the unbelieving of the Gentiles! ' For notwithstanding that they have come forth upon the face of this land and have scattered My people which are of the house of Israel, And My people which are of the house of Israel have been cast out from among them and have been trodden under feet by them,

3 Nephi 7:33 And because of the mercies of the Father unto the Gentiles, and also the judgments of the Father upon My people which are of the house of Israel - Verily, verily I say unto you that after all this - And I have caused My people which are of the house of Israel to be smitten, and to be afflicted, and to be slain, and to be cast out from among them, and to become hated by them, and to become a hiss and a byword among them -

3 Nephi 8:3 Therefore, go ye unto your homes and ponder upon the things which I have said, And ask of the Father in My name, that ye may understand and prepare your minds for the morrow; And I come unto you again;

3 Nephi 8:5 And it came to pass that when Jesus had thus spoken, He cast His eyes round about again on the multitude, And behold, they were in tears and did look steadfastly upon Him as if they would ask Him to tarry a little longer with them;

3 Nephi 8:7 "Have ye any that are lame or blind or halt or maimed or leprous? Or that are withered? Or that are deaf? Or that are afflicted in any manner? Bring them hither and I will heal them, for I have compassion upon you.

3 Nephi 8:13 So they brought their little children and sat them down upon the ground round about Him, And Jesus stood in the midst and the multitude gave way till they had all been brought unto Him.

3 Nephi 8:14 And it came to pass that when they had all been brought and Jesus stood in the midst, He commanded the multitude that they should kneel down upon the ground.

3 Nephi 8:15 And it came to pass that when they had knelt upon the ground, Jesus groaned within Himself and saith: "Father, I am troubled because of the wickedness of the people of the house of Israel."

3 Nephi 8:16 And when He had said these words, He Himself also knelt upon the earth, And behold, He prayed unto the Father, And the things which He prayed cannot be written, And the multitude did bear record which heard Him.

3 Nephi 8:29 And while they were gone for bread and wine, He commanded the multitude that they should sit themselves down upon the earth;

3 Nephi 8:43 And if ye shall always do these things, blessed are ye, for ye are built upon My Rock;

3 Nephi 8:44 But whoso among you shall do more or less than these are not built upon My Rock, but are built upon a sandy foundation;

3 Nephi 8:45 And when the rain descends and the floods come and the winds blow and beat upon them, they shall fall, And the gates of hell are already open to receive them.

3 Nephi 8:58 And now it came to pass that when Jesus had spoken these words, He turned His eyes again upon the disciples whom He had chosen and saith unto them:

3 Nephi 9:7 And the twelve did teach the multitude; But behold, they did cause that the multitude should kneel down upon the face of the earth and should pray unto the Father in the name of Jesus,

3 Nephi 9:14 And it came to pass when they were all baptized and had come up out of the water, the Holy Ghost did fall upon them, And they were filled with the Holy Ghost and with fire;

3 Nephi 9:17 And it came to pass that He spake unto the multitude and commanded them that they should kneel down again upon the earth, and also that His disciples should kneel down upon the earth.

3 Nephi 9:18 And it came to pass that when they had all knelt down upon the earth, He commanded His disciples that they should pray;

3 Nephi 9:25 And it came to pass that Jesus beheld them as they did pray unto Him, And His countenance did smile upon them, And the light of His countenance did shine upon them; And behold, they were as white as the countenance and also the garments of Jesus;

3 Nephi 9:26 And behold, the whiteness thereof did exceed all the whiteness - yea, even there could be nothing upon earth so white as the whiteness thereof.

3 Nephi 9:31 And it came to pass that when Jesus had spake these words, He came again unto His disciples; And behold, they did pray steadfastly without ceasing unto Him; And He did smile upon them again; And behold, they were white even as Jesus.

3 Nephi 9:39 And He commanded them that they should arise and stand up upon their feet, And they arose up and stood up upon their feet.

3 Nephi 9:49 O house of Israel; And then shall the remnants which shall be scattered abroad upon the face of the earth be gathered in - from the east and from the west, and from the south and from the north; And they shall be brought to the knowledge of the Lord their God who hath redeemed them;

3 Nephi 9:53 Thy hand shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries, And all thine enemies shall be cut off.

3 Nephi 9:56 "'And it shall come to pass, ' saith the Father, 'that the sword of My justice shalt hang over them at that day; And except they repent, it shall fall upon them, ' saith the Father, 'yea, even upon all the nations of the Gentiles.'

3 Nephi 9:65 "And after that ye were blessed, then fulfilleth the Father the covenant which He made with Abraham saying: ' In thy Seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed, ' Unto the pouring out of the Holy Ghost through Me upon the Gentiles, Which blessing upon the Gentiles shall make them mighty above all, Unto the scattering of My people, O house of Israel; And they shall be a scourge unto the people of this land.

3 Nephi 9:66 "Nevertheless, when they shall have received the fullness of My gospel, then if they shall harden their hearts against Me, 'I will return their iniquities upon their own heads, ' saith the Father;

3 Nephi 9:78 And then shall they say, "How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of Him that bringeth good tidings unto them, That publisheth peace, That bringeth good tidings unto them of good, That publisheth salvation, That saith unto Zion, 'Thy God reigneth! '"

3 Nephi 9:100 Their hand shall be lifted up upon their adversaries, And all their enemies shall be cut off.'

3 Nephi 9:106 For it shall come to pass, ' saith the Father, ' that at that day, whosoever will not repent and come unto My beloved Son, Them will I cut off from among My people, O house of Israel, And I will execute vengeance and fury upon them - even as upon the heathen - such as they have not heard! '

3 Nephi 10:3 And then shall they assist My people that they may be gathered in, which are scattered upon all the face of the land, in unto the New Jerusalem;

3 Nephi 10:35 And when Nephi had brought forth the records and laid them before Him, And He cast His eyes upon them and saith:

3 Nephi 11:19 'Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another, And the Lord hearkened and heard; And a book of remembrance was written before Him for them that feared the Lord and that thought upon His name.

3 Nephi 11:31 Yea, even all things which should come upon the face of the earth, even until the elements should melt with fervent heat, And the earth should be wrapped together as a scroll, And the heaven and the earth should pass away;

3 Nephi 12:5 Behold, I was about to write them all which were engraven upon the plates of Nephi, But the Lord forbid it, saying, "I will try the faith of My people"; Therefore, I, Mormon, do write the things which have been commanded me of the Lord.

3 Nephi 12:18 Have they not read the scriptures which saith, 'Ye must take upon you the name of Christ, ' which is My name? For by this name shall ye be called at the last day, And whoso taketh upon him My name and endureth to the end, the same shall be saved at the last day.

3 Nephi 12:19 "Therefore, whatsoever ye shall do, ye shall do it in My name; Therefore, ye shall call the church in My name; And ye shall call upon the Father in My name, that He will bless the church for My sake; And howbeit My church save it be called in My name?

3 Nephi 12:20 For if a church be called in Moses' name, then it be Moses' church; Or if it be called in the name of a man, then it be the church of a man; But if it be called in My name, then it is My church - if it so be that they are built upon My gospel.

3 Nephi 12:21 "Verily I say unto you that ye are built upon My gospel, Therefore, ye shall call whatsoever things ye do call in My name; Therefore, if ye call upon the Father for the church, if it be in My name, the Father will hear you;

3 Nephi 12:22 And if it so be that the church is built upon My gospel, then will the Father show forth His own works in it.

3 Nephi 12:23 "But if it be not built upon My gospel and is built upon the works of man or upon the works of the devil, Verily I say unto you, they have joy in their works for a season; And by and by the end cometh, And they are hewn down and cast into the fire from whence there is no return;

3 Nephi 12:26 And My Father sent Me that I might be lifted up upon the cross; And after that I had been lifted up upon the cross, I might draw all men unto Me;

3 Nephi 13:10 And in that day will I visit them, even in turning their works upon their own heads."

3 Nephi 13:28 But it came to pass that they did again minister upon the face of the earth; Nevertheless, they did not minister of the things which they had heard and seen because of the commandment which was given them in heaven.

3 Nephi 13:29 And now whether they were mortal or immortal from the day of their transfiguration, I know not; But this much I know, according to the record which hath been given - They did go forth upon the face of the land and did minister unto all the people, uniting as many to the church as would believe in their preaching, baptizing them,

3 Nephi 13:35 And it came to pass that thus they did go forth among all the people of Nephi and did preach the gospel of Christ unto all people upon the face of the land;

3 Nephi 13:50 But behold, since I wrote I have inquired of the Lord, And He hath made it manifest unto me that there must needs be a change wrought upon their bodies or else it needs be that they must taste of death;

3 Nephi 13:51 Therefore, that they might not taste of death, there was a change wrought upon their bodies that they might not suffer pain nor sorrow, save it were for the sins of the world.

3 Nephi 13:52 Now this change was not equal to that which should take place at the last day; But there was a change wrought upon them, insomuch that Satan could have no power over them - that he could not tempt them - And they were sanctified in the flesh, that they were holy and that the powers of the earth could not hold them;

4 Nephi 1:3 And it came to pass in the thirty and sixth year, the people were all converted unto the Lord upon all the face of the land, both Nephites and Lamanites, And there were no contentions and no disputations among them, And every man did deal justly one with another;

4 Nephi 1:22 And it came to pass that Nephi, he that kept the last record - and he kept it upon the plates of Nephi - died, And his son Amos kept it in his stead, And he kept it upon the plates of Nephi also,

4 Nephi 1:23 And he kept it eighty and four years; And there was still peace in the land, save it were a small part of the people which had revolted from the church and took upon them the name of Lamanites; Therefore, there began to be Lamanites again in the land.

4 Nephi 1:24 And it came to pass that Amos died also; And it was an hundred and ninety and four years from the coming of Christ; And his son Amos kept the record in his stead, And he also kept it upon the plates of Nephi; And it was also written in the book of Nephi, which is this book.

4 Nephi 1:26 And now I, Mormon, would that ye should know that the people had multiplied, Insomuch that they were spread upon all the face of the land, And that they had become exceeding rich because of their prosperity in Christ.

4 Nephi 1:30 And this church did multiply exceedingly because of iniquity and because of the power of Satan which did get hold upon their hearts.

4 Nephi 1:37 And they did smite upon the people of Jesus, but the people of Jesus did not smite again;

Mormon 1:5 "And behold, ye shall take the plates of Nephi unto yourself, And the remainder shall ye leave in the place where they are, And ye shall engrave upon the plates of Nephi all the things that ye have observed concerning this people."

Mormon 1:14 But wickedness did prevail upon the face of the whole land, insomuch that the Lord did take away His beloved disciples; And the work of miracles and of healing did cease because of the iniquity of the people,

Mormon 1:15 And there were no gifts from the Lord, And the Holy Ghost did not come upon any because of their wickedness and unbelief.

Mormon 1:20 And it came to pass that there were sorceries and witchcrafts and magics; And the power of the evil one was wrought upon all the face of the land, even unto the fulfilling of all the words of Abinadi, and also Samuel the Lamanite.

Mormon 1:24 And it came to pass that in the three hundred and twenty and seventh year, the Lamanites did come upon us with exceeding great power, insomuch that they did frighten my armies; Therefore, they would not fight, And they began to retreat toward the North Countries.

Mormon 1:26 And it came to pass that we did fortify the city with our mights; But notwithstanding all our fortifications, the Lamanites did come upon us and did drive us out of the city,

Mormon 1:40 And it came to pass that my sorrow did return unto me again; And I saw that the day of grace was passed with them, both temporally and spiritually, For I saw thousands of them hewn down in open rebellion against their God and heaped up as dung upon the face of the land.

Mormon 1:45 And upon the plates of Nephi I did make a full account of all the wickedness and abominations, But upon these plates, I did forbear to make a full account of their wickedness and abominations; For behold, a continual scene of wickedness and abominations has been before mine eyes ever since I have been sufficient to behold the ways of man.

Mormon 1:50 And it came to pass in the three hundred and forty and sixth year they began to come upon us again.

Mormon 2:3 And while they were yet weary, a fresh army of the Lamanites did come upon them; And they had a sore battle, insomuch that the Lamanites did take possession of the City Desolation and did slay many of the Nephites and did take many prisoners, And the remainder did flee and join the inhabitants of the City Teancum.

Mormon 2:12 And it came to pass that the three hundred and sixty and sixth year had passed away, And the Lamanites came again upon the Nephites to battle; And yet the Nephites repented not of the evil which they had done, but persisted in their wickedness continually.

Mormon 2:26 And it came to pass that I did go forth among the Nephites and did repent of the oath which I had made, that I would no more assist them; And they gave me command again of their armies, for they looked upon me as though I could deliver them from their afflictions.

Mormon 2:27 But behold, I was without hopes, for I knew the judgments of the Lord which should come upon them; For they repented not of their iniquities, but did struggle for their lives without calling upon that Being who had created them.

Mormon 2:35 But I knowing that these things must surely be made known - And that all things which are hid must be revealed upon the housetops - And also that a knowledge of these things must come unto the remnant of these people, And also unto the Gentiles which the Lord hath said should scatter this people, And this people should be counted as naught among them -

Mormon 2:47 But now behold, they are led about by Satan, even as chaff is driven before the wind, or as a vessel is tossed about upon the waves without sail or anchor or without anything wherewith to steer her; And even as she is, so are they.

Mormon 3:11 And it came to pass that they did fall upon my people with the sword, and with the bow, and with the arrow, and with the axe, and with all manner of weapons of war.

Mormon 3:17 And their flesh and bones and blood lay upon the face of the earth, Being left by the hands of those who slew them, to molder upon the land, and to crumble, and to return to their mother earth.

Mormon 3:23 "O that ye had repented before that this great destruction had come upon you! But behold, ye are gone; And the Father, yea, the Eternal Father of heaven knoweth your state, And He doeth with you according to His justice and mercy."

Mormon 3:30 Therefore, repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus and lay hold upon the gospel of Christ which shall be set before you, Not only in this record, but also in the record which shall come unto the Gentiles from the Jews, which record shall come from the Gentiles unto you.

Mormon 4:6 And behold, I would write it also if I had room upon the plates, But I have not; And ore I have none, for I am alone; My father hath been slain in battle, and all my kinsfolk, And I have not friends, nor whither to go; And how long that the Lord will suffer that I may live, I know not.

Mormon 4:11 And now behold, I say no more concerning them, For there are none, save it be Lamanites and robbers, that do exist upon the face of the land;

Mormon 4:12 And there are none that do know the true God, save it be the disciples of Jesus which did tarry in the land until the wickedness of the people was so great that the Lord would not suffer them to remain with the people; And whither they be upon the face of the land, no man knoweth;

Mormon 4:38 Yea, it shall come in a day when there shall be great pollutions upon the face of the earth;

Mormon 4:43 Why have ye transfigured the holy word of God, that ye might bring damnation upon your souls?

Mormon 4:52 Why are ye ashamed to take upon you the name of Christ?

Mormon 4:55 Yea, why do ye build up your secret abominations to get gain? And cause that widows should mourn before the Lord? And also orphans to mourn before the Lord? And also the blood of their fathers and their husbands to cry unto the Lord from the ground for vengeance upon your heads?

Mormon 4:56 Behold, the sword of vengeance hangeth over you! And the time soon cometh that He avengeth the blood of the saints upon you, for He will not suffer their cries any longer.

Mormon 4:64 For behold, when ye shall be brought to see your nakedness before God, and also the glory of God and the holiness of Jesus Christ, It will kindle a flame of unquenchable fire upon you.

Mormon 4:74 And then cometh the judgment of the Holy One upon them; And then cometh the time that he that is filthy shall be filthy still, And he that is righteous shall be righteous still; He that is happy shall be happy still; And he that is unhappy shall be unhappy still.

Ether 1:1 And now I, Moroni, proceed to give an account of those ancient inhabitants which were destroyed by the hand of the Lord upon the face of this North Country,

Ether 1:7 Which Jared came forth with his brother and their families, with some others and their families, From the Great Tower at the time the Lord confounded the language of the people and swear in His wrath that they should be scattered upon all the face of the earth; And according to the word of the Lord, the people were scattered.

Ether 1:20 And there shall be none greater than the nation which I will raise up unto Me of thy seed upon all the face of the earth;

Ether 1:24 And they did also carry with them "deseret, " which by interpretation is a "honey bee"; And thus they did carry with them swarms of bees and all manner of that which was upon the face of the land, seeds of every kind.

Ether 1:30 And He had sworn in His wrath unto the brother of Jared that whoso should possess this Land of Promise from that time henceforth and forever should serve Him, the true and only God, Or they should be swept off when the fullness of His wrath should come upon them.

Ether 1:31 And now we can behold the decrees of God concerning this land - That it is a Land of Promise and whatsoever nation shall possess it shall serve God, Or they shall be swept off when the fullness of His wrath shall come upon them;

Ether 1:32 And the fullness of His wrath cometh upon them when they are ripened in iniquity; For behold, this is a land which is choice above all other lands; Wherefore, he that doth possess it shall serve God or shall be swept off, For it is the everlasting decrees of God -

Ether 1:34 And this cometh unto you, O ye Gentiles, that ye may know the decrees of God, That ye may repent and not continue in your iniquities until the fullness be come, That ye may not bring down the fullness of the wrath of God upon you as the inhabitants of the land hath hitherto done.

Ether 1:45 And they were small and they were light upon the water, even like unto the lightness of a fowl upon the water, And they were built after a manner that they were exceeding tight, even that they would hold water like unto a dish;

Ether 1:51 And if it so be that the water come in upon thee, Behold, ye shall stop the hole thereof, that ye may not perish in the flood."

Ether 1:56 For behold, ye cannot have windows, for they will be dashed in pieces, Neither shall ye take fire with you, for ye shall not go by the light of fire; For behold, ye shall be as a whale in the midst of the sea, for the mountain waves shall dash upon you.

Ether 1:61 And they were white and clear, even as transparent glass; And he did carry them in his hands upon the top of the mount and cried again unto the Lord, saying: "O Lord, Thou hast said that we must be encompassed about by the floods;
