And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock

       of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must

       build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his

       mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his

       hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no

       power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless

       wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure

       foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall.

      Helaman 5:13

       13 And it came to pass that these were the words which Helaman

       taught to his sons; yea, he did teach them many things which are

       not written, and also many things which are written.

      Helaman 5:14

       14 And they did remember his words; and therefore they went

       forth, keeping the commandments of God, to teach the word of God

       among all the people of Nephi, beginning at the city Bountiful;

      Helaman 5:15

       15 And from thenceforth to the city of Gid; and from the city of

       Gid to the city of Mulek;

      Helaman 5:16

       16 And even from one city to another, until they had gone forth

       among all the people of Nephi who were in the land southward; and

       from thence into the land of Zarahemla, among the Lamanites.

      Helaman 5:17

       17 And it came to pass that they did preach with great power,

       insomuch that they did confound many of those dissenters who had

       gone over from the Nephites, insomuch that they came forth and

       did confess their sins and were baptized unto repentance, and

       immediately returned to the Nephites to endeavor to repair unto

       them the wrongs which they had done.

      Helaman 5:18

       18 And it came to pass that Nephi and Lehi did preach unto the

       Lamanites with such great power and authority, for they had power

       and authority, given unto them that they might speak, and they

       also had what they should speak given unto them—

      Helaman 5:19

       19 Therefore they did speak unto the great astonishment of the

       Lamanites, to the convincing them, insomuch that there were eight

       thousand of the Lamanites who were in the land of Zarahemla and

       round about baptized unto repentance, and were convinced of the

       wickedness of the traditions of their fathers.

      Helaman 5:20

       20 And it came to pass that Nephi and Lehi did proceed from

       thence to go to the land of Nephi.

      Helaman 5:21

       21 And it came to pass that they were taken by an army of the

       Lamanites and cast into prison; yea, even in that same prison in

       which Ammon and his brethren were cast by the servants of Limhi.

      Helaman 5:22

       22 And after they had been cast into prison many days without

       food, behold, they went forth into the prison to take them that

       they might slay them.

      Helaman 5:23

       23 And it came to pass that Nephi and Lehi were encircled about

       as if by fire, even insomuch that they durst not lay their hands

       upon them for fear lest they should be burned. Nevertheless,

       Nephi and Lehi were not burned; and they were as standing in the

       midst of fire and were not burned.

      Helaman 5:24

       24 And when they saw that they were encircled about with a

       pillar of fire, and that it burned them not, their hearts did

       take courage.

      Helaman 5:25

       25 For they saw that the Lamanites durst not lay their hands

       upon them; neither durst they come near unto them, but stood as

       if they were struck dumb with amazement.

      Helaman 5:26

       26 And it came to pass that Nephi and Lehi did stand forth and

       began to speak unto them, saying: Fear not, for behold, it is God

       that has shown unto you this marvelous thing, in the which is

       shown unto you that ye cannot lay your hands on us to slay us.

      Helaman 5:27

       27 And behold, when they had said these words, the earth shook

       exceedingly, and the walls of the prison did shake as if they

       were about to tumble to the earth; but behold, they did not fall.

       And behold, they that were in the prison were Lamanites and

       Nephites who were dissenters.

      Helaman 5:28

       28 And it came to pass that they were overshadowed with a cloud

       of darkness, and an awful solemn fear came upon them.

      Helaman 5:29

       29 And it came to pass that there came a voice as if it were

       above the cloud of darkness, saying: Repent ye, repent ye, and

       seek no more to destroy my servants whom I have sent unto you to

       declare good tidings.

      Helaman 5:30

       30 And it came to pass when they heard this voice, and beheld

       that it was not a voice of thunder, neither was it a voice of a

       great tumultuous noise, but behold, it was a still voice of

       perfect mildness, as if it had been a whisper, and it did pierce

       even to the very soul—

      Helaman 5:31

       31 And notwithstanding the mildness of the voice, behold the

       earth shook exceedingly, and the walls of the prison trembled

       again, as if it were about to tumble to the earth; and behold the

       cloud of darkness, which had overshadowed them, did not

       disperse—

      Helaman 5:32

       32 And behold the voice came again, saying: Repent ye, repent

       ye, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand; and seek no more to

       destroy my servants. And it came to pass that the earth shook

       again, and the walls trembled.

      Helaman 5:33

       33 And also again the third time the voice came, and did speak

       unto them marvelous words which cannot be uttered by man; and the

       walls did tremble again, and the earth shook as if it were about

       to divide asunder.

      Helaman 5:34

       34 And it came to pass that the Lamanites could not flee because
