Helaman 11:4

O Lord, do not suffer that this people shall be destroyed by the sword;

but O Lord, rather let there be a famine in the land,

to stir them up in remembrance of the Lord their God,

and perhaps they will repent and turn unto thee.

Helaman 11:7

And it came to pass that the people saw

that they were about to perish by famine,

and they began to remember the Lord their God;

and they began to remember the words of Nephi.

Helaman 11:8

And the people began to plead with their chief judges and their leaders,

that they would say unto Nephi:

Behold, we know that thou art a man of God,

and therefore cry unto the Lord our God

that he turn away from us this famine,

lest all the words which thou hast spoken concerning our destruction be fulfilled.

Helaman 11:18

And behold, the people did rejoice and glorify God,

and the whole face of the land was filled with rejoicing;

and they did no more seek to destroy Nephi,

but they did esteem him as a great prophet, and a man of God,

having great power and authority given unto him from God.

Helaman 11:36

And in the eighty and second year

they began again to forget the Lord their God.

Helaman 12:2

Yea, and we may see at the very time when he doth prosper his people,

yea, in the increase of their fields, their flocks and their herds,

and in gold, and in silver,

and in all manner of precious things of every kind and art;

sparing their lives, and delivering them out of the hands of their enemies;

softening the hearts of their enemies

that they should not declare wars against them;

yea, and in fine, doing all things for the welfare and happiness of his people;

yea, then is the time that they do harden their hearts,

and do forget the Lord their God,

and do trample under their feet the Holy One —

yea, and this because of their ease, and their exceedingly great prosperity.

Helaman 12:5

Yea, how quick to be lifted up in pride;

yea, how quick to boast, and do all manner of that which is iniquity;

and how slow are they to remember the Lord their God,

and to give ear unto his counsels,

yea, how slow to walk in wisdom's paths!
