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,

and smiting their humble brethren upon the cheek,

making a mock of that which was sacred,

denying the spirit of prophecy and of revelation,

murdering, plundering, lying, stealing, committing adultery,

rising up in great contentions,

and deserting away into the land of Nephi, among the Lamanites—

Helaman 6:17

For behold, the Lord had blessed them so long with the riches of the world

that they had not been stirred up to anger, to wars, nor to bloodshed;

therefore they began to set their hearts upon their riches;

yea, they began to seek to get gain

that they might be lifted up one above another;

therefore they began to commit secret murders, and to rob and to plunder,

that they might get gain.
