Mosiah 12:1

And it came to pass that after the space of two years

that Abinadi came among them in disguise,

that they knew him not,

and began to prophesy among them, saying:

Thus has the Lord commanded me, saying —

Abinadi, go and prophesy unto this my people,

for they have hardened their hearts against my words;

they have repented not of their evil doings;

therefore, I will visit them in my anger,

yea, in my fierce anger will I visit them in their iniquities and abominations.

Mosiah 12:2

Yea, wo be unto this generation!

And the Lord said unto me:

Stretch forth thy hand and prophesy, saying:

Thus saith the Lord,

it shall come to pass that this generation, because of their iniquities,

shall be brought into bondage, and shall be smitten on the cheek;

yea, and shall be driven by men, and shall be slain;

and the vultures of the air, and the dogs,

yea, and the wild beasts,

shall devour their flesh.

Mosiah 12:3

And it shall come to pass that

the life of king Noah shall be valued even as a garment in a hot furnace;

for he shall know that I am the Lord.

Mosiah 12:4

And it shall come to pass that

I will smite this my people with sore afflictions,

yea, with famine and with pestilence;

and I will cause that they shall howl all the day long.

Mosiah 12:5

Yea, and I will cause that they shall have burdens lashed upon their backs;

and they shall be driven before like a dumb ass.

Mosiah 12:6

And it shall come to pass that I will send forth hail among them,

and it shall smite them;

and they shall also be smitten with the east wind;

and insects shall pester their land also, and devour their grain.

Mosiah 12:7

And they shall be smitten with a great pestilence —

and all this will I do because of their iniquities and abominations.

Mosiah 12:8

And it shall come to pass that except they repent

I will utterly destroy them from off the face of the earth;

yet they shall leave a record behind them,

and I will preserve them for other nations which shall possess the land;

yea, even this will I do

that I may discover the abominations of this people to other nations.

And many things did Abinadi prophesy against this people.
