And now it came to pass in the forty and third year of the reign of the judges,

which affairs were settled in the ending of the forty and third year.

Helaman 3:14

But behold, a hundredth part of the proceedings of this people,

yea, the account of the Lamanites and of the Nephites,

and their wars, and contentions, and dissensions,

and their preaching, and their prophecies,

and their shipping and their building of ships,

and their building of temples, and of synagogues and their sanctuaries,

and their murders, and their robbings, and their plundering,

and all manner of abominations and whoredoms,

cannot be contained in this work.

across that everlasting gulf of misery

which is prepared to engulf the wicked—

Helaman 4:12

And it was because of the pride of their hearts,

because of their exceeding riches,

yea, it was because of their oppression to the poor,

withholding their food from the hungry,

withholding their clothing from the naked,

that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer,

who is Christ, the Son of God,

yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you,

because of the rock upon which ye are built,

which is a sure foundation,

a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall.
