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,

which is a sure foundation,
a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall.

insomuch that they did unite with those bands of robbers,
and did enter into their covenants and their oaths,
that they would protect and preserve one another
in whatsoever difficult circumstances they should be placed,
that they should not suffer for their murders,
and their plunderings, and their stealings.

beginning at the more wicked part of them,
until they had overspread all the land of the Nephites,
and had seduced the more part of the righteous
until they had come down to believe in their works
and partake of their spoils,
and to join with them in their secret murders and combinations.
Helaman 6:40

and ripening for an everlasting destruction.
