Wo be unto this people,

for I have seen their abominations, and their wickedness, and their whoredoms;

and except they repent I will visit them in mine anger.

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.

Stretch forth thy hand and prophesy, saying:

What meaneth the words which are written,

and which have been taught by our fathers, saying:

Mosiah 12:22

Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice;

with the voice together shall they sing;

for they shall see eye to eye when the Lord shall bring again Zion;

Mosiah 12:25

And now Abinadi said unto them:

Are you priests, and pretend to teach this people,

and to understand the spirit of prophesying,

and yet desire to know of me what these things mean?

Mosiah 12:27

Ye have not applied your hearts to understanding;

therefore, ye have not been wise.

Therefore, what teach ye this people?

Mosiah 12:29

And again he said unto them:

If ye teach the law of Moses

why do ye not keep it?

Why do ye set your hearts upon riches?

Why do ye commit whoredoms and spend your strength with harlots,

yea, and cause this people to commit sin,

that the Lord has cause to send me to prophesy against this people,

yea, even a great evil against this people?

Mosiah 12:30

Yea, ye know that I speak the truth;

and you ought to tremble before God.

What say ye?

he said unto his priests:

Away with this fellow, and slay him;

for what have we to do with him,

for he is mad.

but he withstood them, and said unto them:

Mosiah 13:3

Touch me not,

for God shall smite you if ye lay your hands upon me,

for I have not delivered the message which the Lord sent me to deliver;

neither have I told you that which ye requested that I should tell;

therefore, God will not suffer that I shall be destroyed at this time.

Mosiah 13:5

Now it came to pass after Abinadi had spoken these words

that the people of king Noah durst not lay their hands on him,

for the Spirit of the Lord was upon him;

and his face shone with exceeding luster, even as Moses' did

while in the mount of Sinai, while speaking with the Lord.

Mosiah 13:7

Ye see that ye have not power to slay me,

therefore I finish my message.

Yea, and I perceive that it cuts you to your hearts

because I tell you the truth concerning your iniquities.

what you do with me, after this,

shall be as a type and a shadow of things which are to come.
