And he read, saying: Wo, wo, unto Jerusalem,

for I have seen thine abominations!

and many should be carried away captive into Babylon.

1 Nephi 1:14

And it came to pass that when my father had read

and seen many great and marvelous things,

he did exclaim many things unto the Lord; such as:

Great and marvelous are thy works, O Lord God Almighty!

Thy throne is high in the heavens,

and thy power, and goodness, and mercy are over all the inhabitants of the earth;

and, because thou art merciful,

thou wilt not suffer those who come unto thee that they shall perish!

And it came to pass that the Jews did mock him

because of the things which he testified of them;

for he truly testified of their wickedness and their abominations;

and he testified that the things which he saw and heard,

and also the things which he read in the book,

manifested plainly of the coming of a Messiah,

and also the redemption of the world.
