Helaman 3:36

And it came to pass that the fifty and second year ended in peace also,

save it were the exceedingly great pride

which had gotten into the hearts of the people;

and it was because of their exceedingly great riches and their prosperity in the land;

and it did grow upon them from day to day.

Helaman 4:11

Now this great loss of the Nephites,

and the great slaughter which was among them,

would not have happened

had it not been for their wickedness

and their abomination which was among them;

yea, and it was among those also who professed to belong to the church of God.

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 6:19

and it was they who did murder the chief judge Cezoram, and his son,

while in the judgment–seat;

and behold, they were not found.

Helaman 6:28

And also it is that same being who put it into the hearts of the people

to build a tower sufficiently high that they might get to heaven.

and it was that same being

who led on the people who came from that tower into this land;

who spread the works of darkness and abominations

over all the face of the land,

until he dragged the people down

to an entire destruction, and to an everlasting hell.
