2 Nephi 1:10

But behold, when the time cometh

that they shall dwindle in unbelief,

after they have received so great blessings from the hand of the Lord —

having a knowledge of the creation of the earth, and all men,

knowing the great and marvelous works of the Lord

from the creation of the world;

having power given them to do all things by faith;

having all the commandments from the beginning,

and having been brought by his infinite goodness

into this precious land of promise —

behold, I say, if the day shall come

that they will reject the Holy One of Israel,

the true Messiah, their Redeemer and their God,

behold, the judgments of him that is just shall rest upon them.

that ye may not come down into captivity;

for thou hast beheld that in the fulness of time

he cometh to bring salvation unto men.

unto the inflicting of the punishment which is affixed,

And the days of the children of men were prolonged,

save it be by the punishment of the law at the great and last day,

according to the commandments which God hath given.

through the great Mediator of all men,

according to the captivity and power of the devil;

for he seeketh that all men might be miserable like unto himself.
