Helaman 7:1

Behold, now it came to pass in the sixty and ninth year

of the reign of the judges over the people of the Nephites,

that Nephi, the son of Helaman, returned

to the land of Zarahemla from the land northward.

Helaman 7:2

For he had been forth among the people

who were in the land northward

and did preach the word of God unto them,

and did prophesy many things unto them;

Helaman 7:3

And they did reject all his words,

insomuch that he could not stay among them,

but returned again unto the land of his nativity.

Helaman 7:4

And seeing the people in a state of such awful wickedness,

and those Gadianton robbers filling the judgment–seats —

having usurped the power and authority of the land;

laying aside the commandments of God,

and not in the least aright before him;

doing no justice unto the children of men;

Helaman 7:7

Oh, that I could have had my days in the days

when my father Nephi first came out of the land of Jerusalem,

that I could have joyed with him in the promised land;

then were his people easy to be entreated,

firm to keep the commandments of God,

and slow to be led to do iniquity;

and they were quick to hearken unto the words of the Lord—

Helaman 7:22

And for this cause

wo shall come unto you except ye shall repent.

For if ye will not repent,

behold, this great city,

and also all those great cities which are round about,

which are in the land of our possession,

shall be taken away

that ye shall have no place in them;

for behold, the Lord will not grant unto you strength,

as he has hitherto done,

to withstand against your enemies.

Helaman 8:21

And now will you dispute that Jerusalem was destroyed?

Will ye say that the sons of Zedekiah were not slain,

all except it were Mulek?

Yea, and do ye not behold that the seed of Zedekiah are with us,

and they were driven out of the land of Jerusalem?

But behold, this is not all—

Helaman 10:12

And behold, now it came to pass that

when the Lord had spoken these words unto Nephi,

he did stop and did not go unto his own house,

but did return unto the multitudes

who were scattered about upon the face of the land,

and began to declare unto them the word of the Lord

which had been spoken unto him,

concerning their destruction if they did not repent.
