Mosiah 8:8, 12

Mosiah 7:8

And it came to pass when they had been in prison two days

they were again brought before the king,

and their bands were loosed;

and they stood before the king,

and were permitted, or rather commanded,

that they should answer the questions which he should ask them.

Mosiah 7:18

And it came to pass that when they had gathered themselves together

that he spake unto them in this wise, saying:

O ye, my people, lift up your heads and be comforted;

for behold, the time is at hand, or is not far distant,

when we shall no longer be in subjection to our enemies,

notwithstanding our many strugglings, which have been in vain;

yet I trust there remaineth an effectual struggle to be made.

Mosiah 7:24

Yea, I say unto you,

great are the reasons which we have to mourn;

for behold how many of our brethren have been slain,

and their blood has been spilt in vain,

and all because of iniquity.

Mosiah 8:8

And they were lost in the wilderness for the space of many days,

yet they were diligent, and found not the land of Zarahemla

but returned to this land,

having traveled in a land among many waters,

having discovered a land which was covered with bones of men, and of beasts,

and was also covered with ruins of buildings of every kind,

having discovered a land which had been peopled with a people

who were as numerous as the hosts of Israel.

Mosiah 8:12

And I say unto thee again:

Knowest thou of any one that can translate?

For I am desirous that these records should be translated into our language;

for, perhaps, they will give us a knowledge of a remnant of the people

who have been destroyed,

from whence these records came;

or, perhaps, they will give us a knowledge of this very people

who have been destroyed;

and I am desirous to know the cause of their destruction.
