29 O ye wicked and ye perverse generation; ye hardened and ye

       stiffnecked people, how long will ye suppose that the Lord will

       suffer you? Yea, how long will ye suffer yourselves to be led by

       foolish and blind guides? Yea, how long will ye choose darkness

       rather than light?

      Helaman 13:30

       30 Yea, behold, the anger of the Lord is already kindled against

       you; behold, he hath cursed the land because of your iniquity.

      Helaman 13:31

       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.

      Helaman 13:32

       32 And in the days of your poverty ye shall cry unto the Lord;

       and in vain shall ye cry, for your desolation is already come

       upon you, and your destruction is made sure; and then shall ye

       weep and howl in that day, saith the Lord of Hosts. And then

       shall ye lament, and say:

      Helaman 13:33

       33 O that I had repented, and had not killed the prophets, and

       stoned them, and cast them out. Yea, in that day ye shall say: O

       that we had remembered the Lord our God in the day that he gave

       us our riches, and then they would not have become slippery that

       we should lose them; for behold, our riches are gone from us.

      Helaman 13:34

       34 Behold, we lay a tool here and on the morrow it is gone; and

       behold, our swords are taken from us in the day we have sought

       them for battle.

      Helaman 13:35

       35 Yea, we have hid up our treasures and they have slipped away

       from us, because of the curse of the land.

      Helaman 13:36

       36 O that we had repented in the day that the word of the Lord

       came unto us; for behold the land is cursed, and all things are

       become slippery, and we cannot hold them.

      Helaman 13:37

       37 Behold, we are surrounded by demons, yea, we are encircled

       about by the angels of him who hath sought to destroy our souls.

       Behold, our iniquities are great. O Lord, canst thou not turn

       away thine anger from us? And this shall be your language in

       those days.

      Helaman 13:38

       38 But behold, your days of probation are past; ye have

       procrastinated the day of your salvation until it is

       everlastingly too late, and your destruction is made sure; yea,

       for ye have sought all the days of your lives for that which ye

       could not obtain; and ye have sought for happiness in doing

       iniquity, which thing is contrary to the nature of that

       righteousness which is in our great and Eternal Head.

      Helaman 13:39

       39 O ye people of the land, that ye would hear my words! And I

       pray that the anger of the Lord be turned away from you, and that

       ye would repent and be saved.

       for five years more cometh, and behold, then cometh the Son of

       God to redeem all those who shall believe on his name.

      Helaman 14:3

       3 And behold, this will I give unto you for a sign at the time

       of his coming; for behold, there shall be great lights in heaven,

       insomuch that in the night before he cometh there shall be no

       darkness, insomuch that it shall appear unto man as if it was

       day.

      Helaman 14:4

       4 Therefore, there shall be one day and a night and a day, as if

       it were one day and there were no night; and this shall be unto

       you for a sign; for ye shall know of the rising of the sun and

       also of its setting; therefore they shall know of a surety that

       there shall be two days and a night; nevertheless the night shall

       not be darkened; and it shall be the night before he is born.

       never have beheld; and this also shall be a sign unto you.

       wonders in heaven.

       that I should come and tell this thing unto you; yea, he hath

       commanded that I should prophesy these things unto you; yea, he

       hath said unto me: Cry unto this people, repent and prepare the

       way of the Lord.

       10 And now, because I am a Lamanite, and have spoken unto you

       the words which the Lord hath commanded me, and because it was

       hard against you, ye are angry with me and do seek to destroy me,

       and have cast me out from among you.

      Helaman 14:11

       11 And ye shall hear my words, for, for this intent have I come

       up upon the walls of this city, that ye might hear and know of

       the judgments of God which do await you because of your

       iniquities, and also that ye might know the conditions of

       repentance;

      Helaman 14:12

       12 And also that ye might know of the coming of Jesus Christ,

       the Son of God, the Father of heaven and of earth, the Creator of

       all things from the beginning; and that ye might know of the

       signs of his coming, to the intent that ye might believe on his

       name.
