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

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;

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—

then would my soul have had joy in the righteousness of my brethren.

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