Helaman 7:5

Condemning the righteous because of their righteousness;

letting the guilty and the wicked go unpunished because of their money;

and moreover to be held in office at the head of government,

to rule and do according to their wills,

that they might get gain and glory of the world,

and, moreover, that they might the more easily commit adultery,

and steal, and kill, and do according to their own wills—

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 7:21

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 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 10:18

And it came to pass that they would not hearken unto his words;

and there began to be contentions,

insomuch that they were divided against themselves

and began to slay one another with the sword.
