2 Nephi 5:20

Wherefore, the word of the Lord was fulfilled

which he spake unto me,

saying that: Inasmuch as they will not hearken unto thy words

they shall be cut off from the presence of the Lord.

And behold, they were cut off from his presence.

2 Nephi 5:21

And he had caused the cursing to come upon them,

yea, even a sore cursing, because of their iniquity.

For behold, they had hardened their hearts against him,

that they had become like unto a flint;

wherefore, as they were white, and exceedingly fair and delightsome,

that they might not be enticing unto my people

the Lord God did cause a skin of blackness to come upon them.

2 Nephi 5:25

And the Lord God said unto me:

They shall be a scourge unto thy seed, to stir them up in remembrance of me;

and inasmuch as they will not remember me, and hearken unto my words,

they shall scourge them even unto destruction.
