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 7:10

And behold, now it came to pass that it was upon a tower,

which was in the garden of Nephi, which was by the highway

which led to the chief market, which was in the city of Zarahemla;

therefore, Nephi had bowed himself upon the tower which was in his garden,

which tower was also near unto the garden gate by which led the highway.

Helaman 7:11

And it came to pass that there were certain men passing by

and saw Nephi as he was pouring out his soul unto God upon the tower;

and they ran and told the people what they had seen,

and the people came together in multitudes

that they might know the cause of so great mourning

for the wickedness of the people.

Helaman 7:13

And it came to pass that he opened his mouth and said unto them:

Behold, why have ye gathered yourselves together?

That I may tell you of your iniquities?

Helaman 7:14

Yea, because I have got upon my tower

that I might pour out my soul unto my God,

because of the exceeding sorrow of my heart,

which is because of your iniquities!

Helaman 7:17

O repent ye, repent ye!

Why will ye die?

Turn ye, turn ye unto the Lord your God.

Why has he forsaken you?

Helaman 7:18

It is because you have hardened your hearts;

yea, ye will not hearken unto the voice of the good shepherd;

yea, ye have provoked him to anger against you.

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 7:23

For behold, thus saith the Lord:

I will not show unto the wicked of my strength,

to one more than the other,

save it be unto those who repent of their sins, and hearken unto my words.

Now therefore, I would that ye should behold, my brethren,

that it shall be better for the Lamanites than for you except ye shall repent.

Helaman 7:24

For behold, they are more righteous than you,

for they have not sinned against that great knowledge which ye have received;

therefore the Lord will be merciful unto them;

yea, he will lengthen out their days and increase their seed,

even when thou shalt be utterly destroyed except thou shalt repent.

Helaman 7:25

which has come among you;

and ye have united yourselves unto it,

yea, to that secret band which was established by Gadianton!

which ye have suffered to enter your hearts,

which has lifted you up beyond that which is good

because of your exceedingly great riches!

Helaman 7:27

Yea, wo be unto you because of your wickedness and abominations!

Helaman 7:29

Behold now, I do not say that these things shall be, of myself,

because it is not of myself that I know these things;

but behold, I know that these things are true

because the Lord God has made them known unto me,

therefore I testify that they shall be.

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 8:3

For behold, Nephi had spoken unto them

concerning the corruptness of their law;

yea, many things did Nephi speak which cannot be written;

and nothing did he speak which was contrary to the commandments of God.

Helaman 8:4

And those judges were angry with him

because he spake plainly unto them concerning their secret works of darkness;

nevertheless, they durst not lay their own hands upon him,

for they feared the people lest they should cry out against them.

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 8:8

Yea, behold, all the judgments will come upon us

which he has testified unto us;

for we know that he has testified aright unto us concerning our iniquities.

And behold they are many,

and he knoweth as well all things which shall befall us

as he knoweth of our iniquities;

Helaman 8:10

And it came to pass that those people

who sought to destroy Nephi

were compelled because of their fear,

that they did not lay their hands on him;

therefore he began again to speak unto them,

seeing that he had gained favor in the eyes of some,

insomuch that the remainder of them did fear.

Helaman 8:11

Therefore he was constrained to speak more unto them saying:

Behold, my brethren, have ye not read

that God gave power unto one man, even Moses,

to smite upon the waters of the Red Sea,

and they parted hither and thither,

insomuch that the Israelites, who were our fathers,

came through upon dry ground,

and the waters closed upon the armies of the Egyptians

and swallowed them up?

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,

and also the words which were spoken by this man, Moses,

who had such great power given unto him,

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

Helaman 8:15

even so as many as should look upon the Son of God with faith,

having a contrite spirit, might live,

even unto that life which is eternal.

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 8:23

And behold, he is God,

and he is with them,

and he did manifest himself unto them,

that they were redeemed by him;

and they gave unto him glory, because of that which is to come.

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.

Helaman 8:27

Yea, behold it is now even at your doors;

yea, go ye in unto the judgment–seat, and search;

and behold, your judge is murdered,

and he lieth in his blood;

and he hath been murdered by his brother,

who seeketh to sit in the judgment–seat.

Helaman 9:2

Behold, now we will know of a surety

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 9:3

And it came to pass that they ran in their might,

and came in unto the judgment–seat;

and behold, the chief judge had fallen to the earth,

and did lie in his blood.

Helaman 9:7

unto the place of the judgment–seat —

and behold, to their astonishment they saw those five men

who had fallen to the earth.

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 now behold, we will detect this man,

and he shall confess his fault

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

Helaman 9:20

Saying unto him:

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.

Helaman 9:21

But Nephi said unto them:

O ye fools, ye uncircumcised of heart,

ye blind, and ye stiffnecked people,

do ye know how long the Lord your God will suffer you

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

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.

Helaman 9:26

Behold I say unto you:

Go to the house of Seantum, who is the brother of Seezoram,

and say unto him—

Helaman 9:28

And behold, he shall say unto you, Nay.

Helaman 9:29

And ye shall say unto him:

Have ye murdered your brother?

Helaman 9:30

And he shall stand with fear, and wist not what to say.

And behold, he shall deny unto you;

and he shall make as if he were astonished;

nevertheless, he shall declare unto you that he is innocent.

Helaman 9:35

And then shall greater fear come upon him;

and then shall he confess unto you,

and deny no more that he has done this murder.

Helaman 9:36

And then shall he say unto you,

that I, Nephi, know nothing concerning the matter

save it were given unto me by the power of God.

And then shall ye know that I am an honest man,

and that I am sent unto you from God.

Helaman 9:37

And it came to pass that they went

and did, even according as Nephi had said unto them.

And behold, the words which he had said were true;

for according to the words he did deny;

and also according to the words he did confess.

Helaman 9:41

And there were others who said:

Behold, he is a god,

for except he was a god

he could not know of all things.

For behold, he has told us the thoughts of our hearts,

and also has told us things;

and even he has brought unto our knowledge

the true murderer of our chief judge.

Helaman 10:2

And it came to pass that Nephi went his way towards his own house,

pondering upon the things which the Lord had shown unto him.

Helaman 10:3

And it came to pass as he was thus pondering —

being much cast down because of the wickedness of the people of the Nephites,

their secret works of darkness,

and their murderings, and their plunderings,

and all manner of iniquities —

and it came to pass as he was thus pondering in his heart,

behold, a voice came unto him saying:

Helaman 10:4

Blessed art thou, Nephi, for those things which thou hast done;

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, thou art Nephi, and I am God.

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.

Helaman 10:7

Behold, I give unto you power,

that whatsoever ye shall seal on earth shall be sealed in heaven;

and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven;

and thus shall ye have power among this people.

Helaman 10:8

And thus, if ye shall say unto this temple

it shall be rent in twain, it shall be done.

Helaman 10:9

And if ye shall say unto this mountain,

Be thou cast down and become smooth,

it shall be done.

Helaman 10:11

And now behold, I command you,

that ye shall go and declare unto this people,

that thus saith the Lord God, who is the Almighty:

Except ye repent ye shall be smitten, even unto destruction.

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.

Helaman 10:13

Now behold, notwithstanding that great miracle which Nephi had done

in telling them concerning the death of the chief judge,

they did harden their hearts

and did not hearken unto the words of the Lord.

Helaman 10:14

Therefore Nephi did declare unto them the word of the Lord, saying:

Except ye repent, thus saith the Lord, ye shall be smitten even unto destruction.

Helaman 10:15

And it came to pass that when Nephi had declared unto them the word,

behold, they did still harden their hearts and would not hearken unto his words;

therefore they did revile against him,

and did seek to lay their hands upon him

that they might cast him into prison.

Helaman 10:17

And it came to pass that

thus he did go forth in the Spirit, from multitude to multitude,

declaring the word of God, even until he had declared it unto them all,

or sent it forth among all the people.

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.
