Mosiah 8:7

Mosiah 7:15

For behold, we are in bondage to the Lamanites,

and are taxed with a tax which is grievous to be borne.

And now, behold, our brethren will deliver us out of our bondage,

or out of the hands of the Lamanites,

and we will be their slaves;

for it is better that we be slaves to the Nephites

than to pay tribute to the king of the Lamanites.

Mosiah 7:20

And again, that same God has brought our fathers out of the land of Jerusalem,

and has kept and preserved his people even until now;

and behold, it is because of our iniquities and abominations

that he has brought us into bondage.

Mosiah 7:22

And all this he did, for the sole purpose

of bringing this people into subjection or into bondage.

And behold, we at this time do pay tribute to the king of the Lamanites,

to the amount of one half of our corn, and our barley,

and even all our grain of every kind,

and one half of the increase of our flocks and our herds;

and even one half of all we have or possess

the king of the Lamanites doth exact of us, or our lives.

Mosiah 7:28

And now, because he said this, they did put him to death;

and many more things did they do

which brought down the wrath of God upon them.

Therefore, who wondereth that they are in bondage,

and that they are smitten with sore afflictions?

Mosiah 7:33

But if ye will turn to the Lord with full purpose of heart,

and put your trust in him, and serve him with all diligence of mind,

if ye do this,

he will, according to his own will and pleasure, deliver you out of bondage.

Mosiah 8:7

And the king said unto him:

Being grieved for the afflictions of my people,

I caused that forty and three of my people

should take a journey into the wilderness,

that thereby they might find the land of Zarahemla,

that we might appeal unto our brethren to deliver us out of bondage.
