Alma 45:16

And he said:

Thus saith the Lord God —

Cursed shall be the land, yea, this land,

unto every nation, kindred, tongue, and people,

unto destruction, which do wickedly, when they are fully ripe;

Behold, this we know, that he was a righteous man;

and the saying went abroad in the church

that he was taken up by the Spirit,

And it came to pass that when Moroni had proclaimed these words,

behold, the people came running together

the Lord should rend them even as they had rent their garments.

to be trodden under foot, if we shall fall into transgression.

Even as this remnant of garment of my son hath been preserved,

even as the remnant of his garment.
