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,

rising up in great contentions,

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

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.

because of the greatness of the evidences which they had received.

Nevertheless, the people of the church did have great joy

because of the conversion of the Lamanites,

and did have great joy.
