because of their exceeding riches,

withholding their clothing from the naked,

murdering, plundering, lying, stealing, committing adultery,

rising up in great contentions,

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

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

over all the face of the land,

until he dragged the people down

to an entire destruction, and to an everlasting hell.

from generation to generation

according as he can get hold upon the hearts of the children of men.
