Omni 1:2

Wherefore, in my days, I would that ye should know

that I fought much with the sword to preserve my people, the Nephites,

from falling into the hands of their enemies, the Lamanites.

But behold, I of myself am a wicked man,

and I have not kept the statutes and the commandments of the Lord

as I ought to have done.

Omni 1:6

For the Lord would not suffer,

after he had led them out of the land of Jerusalem

and kept and preserved them from falling into the hands of their enemies,

yea, he would not suffer that the words should not be verified,

which he spake unto our fathers,

saying that: Inasmuch as ye will not keep my commandments

ye shall not prosper in the land.

Omni 1:15

that the people of Zarahemla came out from Jerusalem at the time

that Zedekiah, king of Judah, was carried away captive into Babylon.

Omni 1:16

And they journeyed in the wilderness,

and were brought by the hand of the Lord across the great waters,

into the land where Mosiah discovered them;

and they had dwelt there from that time forth.

Omni 1:17

And at the time that Mosiah discovered them,

they had become exceedingly numerous.

Nevertheless, they had had many wars and serious contentions,

and had fallen by the sword from time to time;

and they had brought no records with them;

and they denied the being of their Creator;

and Mosiah, nor the people of Mosiah, could understand them.

Omni 1:22

It also spake a few words concerning his fathers.

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.

Omni 1:25

And it came to pass that I began to be old;

and, having no seed,

and knowing king Benjamin to be a just man before the Lord,

wherefore, I shall deliver up these plates unto him,

exhorting all men to come unto God, the Holy One of Israel,

and believe in prophesying, and in revelations,

and in the ministering of angels,

and in the gift of speaking with tongues,

and in the gift of interpreting languages,

and in all things which are good;

for there is nothing which is good save it comes from the Lord;

and that which is evil cometh from the devil.
