Helaman 13:21

Behold ye, the people of this great city,

and hearken unto my words;

yea, hearken unto the words which the Lord saith;

for behold, he saith that ye are cursed because of your riches,

and also are your riches cursed

because ye have set your hearts upon them,

and have not hearkened unto the words of him who gave them unto you.



Helaman 13:22

Ye do not remember the Lord your God

in the things with which he hath blessed you,

but ye do always remember your riches,

not to thank the Lord your God for them;

yea, your hearts are not drawn out unto the Lord,

but they do swell with great pride, unto boasting,

and unto great swelling, envyings, strifes, malice, persecutions, and murders,

and all manner of iniquities.



Helaman 13:23

For this cause hath the Lord God caused

that a curse should come upon the land, and also upon your riches,

and this because of your iniquities.



Helaman 13:31

And behold, the time cometh that he curseth your riches,

that they become slippery, that ye cannot hold them;

and in the days of your poverty ye cannot retain them.
