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.

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

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

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

because the Lord God has made them known unto me,

therefore I testify that they shall be.

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

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?

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?

a great many thousand years before his coming,

that even redemption should come unto them.

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.

who had gathered together at the garden of Nephi;

And it came to pass that they inquired among the people, saying:

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

whether he was dead?

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

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.

From whence cometh this blood?

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

for I have beheld how thou hast with unwearyingness

unto this people.

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

Helaman 10:5

behold, I will bless thee forever;

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

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

which had been spoken unto him,

concerning their destruction if they did not repent.

Helaman 10:13

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.

that they might cast him into prison.
