And the people who were in the land northward

did dwell in tents, and in houses of cement,

and they did suffer whatsoever tree should spring up upon the face of the land

and all manner of their buildings.

even until they have fallen into transgression

and have been murdered, plundered, and hunted,

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 5:12

And now, my sons, remember, remember

that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer,

who is Christ, the Son of God,

that ye must build your foundation;

that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds,

yea, his shafts in the whirlwind,

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

it shall have no power over you

to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo,

because of the rock upon which ye are built,

which is a sure foundation,

a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall.

and they were filled with that joy which is unspeakable and full of glory.

from generation to generation
