2 Nephi 28:14

They wear stiff necks and high heads;

yea, and because of pride, and wickedness, and abominations, and whoredoms,

they have all gone astray

save it be a few, who are the humble followers of Christ;

nevertheless, they are led, that in many instances they do err

because they are taught by the precepts of men.

2 Nephi 28:26

Yea, wo be unto him that hearkeneth unto the precepts of men,

and denieth the power of God, and the gift of the Holy Ghost!

2 Nephi 28:31

Cursed is he that putteth his trust in man, or maketh flesh his arm,

or shall hearken unto the precepts of men,

save their precepts shall be given by the power of the Holy Ghost.
