Helaman 7:6

Now this great iniquity had come upon the Nephites,

in the space of not many years;

and when Nephi saw it,

his heart was swollen with sorrow within his breast;

and he did exclaim in the agony of his soul:

Helaman 7:9

But behold, I am consigned that these are my days,

and that my soul shall be filled with sorrow

because of this the wickedness of my brethren.

Helaman 7:21

But behold, it is to get gain, to be praised of men,

yea, and that ye might get gold and silver.

And ye have set your hearts upon the riches and the vain things of this world,

for the which ye do murder, and plunder, and steal,

and bear false witness against your neighbor,

and do all manner of iniquity.

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 8:1

And now it came to pass that when Nephi had said these words,

behold, there were men who were judges,

who also belonged to the secret band of Gadianton,

and they were angry,

and they cried out against him, saying unto the people:

Why do ye not seize upon this man and bring him forth,

that he may be condemned according to the crime which he has done?

Helaman 8:2

Why seest thou this man, and hearest him

revile against this people and against our law?

Helaman 8:5

Therefore they did cry unto the people, saying:

Why do you suffer this man to revile against us?

For behold he doth condemn all this people, even unto destruction;

yea, and also that these our great cities shall be taken from us,

that we shall have no place in them.

Helaman 8:6

And now we know that this is impossible,

for behold, we are powerful, and our cities great,

therefore our enemies can have no power over us.

Helaman 8:7

And it came to pass that

thus they did stir up the people to anger against Nephi,

and raised contentions among them;

for there were some who did cry out:

Let this man alone, for he is a good man,

and those things which he saith will surely come to pass except we repent;

Helaman 8:12

And now behold, if God gave unto this man such power,

then why should ye dispute among yourselves,

and say that he hath given unto me no power

whereby I may know concerning the judgments

that shall come upon you except ye repent?

Helaman 8:13

But, behold, ye not only deny my words,

but ye also deny all the words which have been spoken by our fathers,

who had such great power given unto him,

yea, the words which he hath spoken concerning the coming of the Messiah.

Helaman 8:18

Yea, and behold I say unto you, that Abraham not only knew of these things,

but there were many before the days of Abraham

who were called by the order of God;

yea, even after the order of his Son;

and this that it should be shown unto the people,

a great many thousand years before his coming,

that even redemption should come unto them.

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 8:22

Our father Lehi was driven out of Jerusalem

because he testified of these things.

Nephi also testified of these things,

and also almost all of our fathers, even down to this time;

yea, they have testified of the coming of Christ,

and have looked forward,

and have rejoiced in his day which is to come.

Helaman 8:24

And now, seeing ye know these things

and cannot deny them except ye shall lie,

therefore in this ye have sinned,

for ye have rejected all these things,

notwithstanding so many evidences which ye have received;

yea, even ye have received all things,

both things in heaven, and all things which are in the earth,

as a witness that they are true.

Helaman 8:25

But behold, ye have rejected the truth,

and rebelled against your holy God;

and even at this time,

instead of laying up for yourselves treasures in heaven,

where nothing doth corrupt,

and where nothing can come which is unclean,

ye are heaping up for yourselves wrath against the day of judgment.

Helaman 8:26

Yea, even at this time ye are ripening,

because of your murders and your fornication and wickedness,

for everlasting destruction;

yea, and except ye repent

it will come unto you soon.

whether this man be a prophet

and God hath commanded him

to prophesy such marvelous things unto us.

Behold, we do not believe that he hath;

yea, we do not believe that he is a prophet;

nevertheless, if this thing

which he has said concerning the chief judge be true,

that he be dead,

then will we believe that the other words which he has spoken are true.

Helaman 9:4

they were astonished exceedingly,

insomuch that they fell to the earth;

for they had not believed the words

which Nephi had spoken concerning the chief judge.

Where are the five who were sent to inquire concerning the chief judge

whether he was dead?

And they answered and said:

Concerning this five whom ye say ye have sent, we know not;

but there are five who are the murderers,

whom we have cast into prison.

Helaman 9:15

Now, as for the murder of this man,

we know not who has done it;

and only this much we know,

we ran and came according as ye desired,

and behold he was dead, according to the words of Nephi.

Helaman 9:16

And now it came to pass that

the judges did expound the matter unto the people,

and did cry out against Nephi, saying:

Behold, we know that this Nephi must have agreed

with some one to slay the judge,

and then he might declare it unto us,

that he might convert us unto his faith,

that he might raise himself to be a great man,

chosen of God, and a prophet.

Helaman 9:17

and he shall confess his fault

and make known unto us the true murderer of this judge.

Thou art confederate;

who is this man that hath done this murder?

Now tell us, and acknowledge thy fault;

saying,

Behold here is money;

and also we will grant unto thee thy life

if thou wilt tell us, and acknowledge the agreement

which thou hast made with him.

that ye shall go on in this your way of sin?

because of the great destruction

which at this time doth await you,

except ye shall repent.

Helaman 9:23

Behold ye say that I have agreed with a man

that he should murder Seezoram, our chief judge.

But behold, I say unto you,

that this is because I have testified unto you

that ye might know concerning this thing;

yea, even for a witness unto you,

that I did know of the wickedness and abominations which are among you.

Helaman 9:24

And because I have done this,

ye say that I have agreed with a man that he should do this thing;

yea, because I showed unto you this sign

ye are angry with me, and seek to destroy my life.

Helaman 9:25

And now behold, I will show unto you another sign,

and see if ye will in this thing seek to destroy me.

who doth prophesy so much evil concerning this people,

agreed with thee, in the which ye have murdered Seezoram, who is your brother?

From whence cometh this blood?

Do we not know that it is the blood of your brother?

Because of this fear and this paleness which has come upon your face,

and then shall he confess unto you,

and deny no more that he has done this murder.

for I have beheld how thou hast with unwearyingness

declared the word, which I have given unto thee,

unto this people.

And thou hast not feared them, and hast not sought thine own life,

but hast sought my will, and to keep my commandments.

Helaman 10:5

And now, because thou hast done this with such unwearyingness,

behold, I will bless thee forever;

and I will make thee mighty in word and in deed, in faith and in works;

yea, even that all things shall be done unto thee according to thy word,

for thou shalt not ask that which is contrary to my will.

Helaman 10:6

Behold, I declare it unto thee in the presence of mine angels,

that ye shall have power over this people,

and shall smite the earth with famine, and with pestilence, and destruction,

according to the wickedness of this people.
