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.

And this work of destruction did also continue in the seventy and fifth year.

For the earth was smitten

that it was dry, and did not yield forth grain in the season of grain;

and the whole earth was smitten,

even among the Lamanites as well as among the Nephites,

so that they were smitten

that they did perish by thousands in the more wicked parts of the land.

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.

that the Lord their God, who hath created them, should rule and reign over them;

notwithstanding his great goodness and his mercy towards them,

they do set at naught his counsels,

and they will not that he should be their guide.

And thus, according to his word the earth goeth back,

and it appeareth unto man that the sun standeth still;

yea, and behold, this is so;

for surely it is the earth that moveth and not the sun.
