it came to pass that there arose a division among the

       people, insomuch that they divided hither and thither and went

       their ways, leaving Nephi alone, as he was standing in the midst

       of them.

      Helaman 10:2

       2 And it came to pass that Nephi went his way towards his own

       house, pondering upon the things which the Lord had shown unto

       him.

      Helaman 10:3

       3 And it came to pass as he was thus pondering—being much cast

       down because of the wickedness of the people of the Nephites,

       their secret works of darkness, and their murderings, and their

       plunderings, and all manner of iniquities—and it came to pass as

       he was thus pondering in his heart, behold, a voice came unto him

       saying:

      Helaman 10:4

       4 Blessed art thou, Nephi, for those things which thou hast

       done; for I have beheld how thou hast with unwearyingness

       declared the word, which I have given unto thee, unto this

       people. And thou hast not feared them, and hast not sought thine

       own life, but hast sought my will, and to keep my commandments.

       Helaman 10:5

       5 And now, because thou hast done this with such unwearyingness,

       behold, I will bless thee forever; and I will make thee mighty in

       word and in deed, in faith and in works; yea, even that all

       things shall be done unto thee according to thy word, for thou

       shalt not ask that which is contrary to my will.

      Helaman 10:6

       6 Behold, thou art Nephi, and I am God. Behold, I declare it

       unto thee in the presence of mine angels, that ye shall have

       power over this people, and shall smite the earth with famine,

       and with pestilence, and destruction, according to the wickedness

       of this people.

      Helaman 10:7

       7 Behold, I give unto you power, that whatsoever ye shall seal

       on earth shall be sealed in heaven; and whatsoever ye shall loose

       on earth shall be loosed in heaven; and thus shall ye have power

       among this people.

      Helaman 10:8

       8 And thus, if ye shall say unto this temple it shall be rent in

       twain, it shall be done.

      Helaman 10:9

       9 And if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou cast down and

       become smooth, it shall be done.

      Helaman 10:10

       10 And behold, if ye shall say that God shall smite this people,

       it shall come to pass.

      Helaman 10:11

       11 And now behold, I command you, that ye shall go and declare

       unto this people, that thus saith the Lord God, who is the

       Almighty: Except ye repent ye shall be smitten, even unto

       destruction.

      Helaman 10:12

       12 And behold, now it came to pass that when the Lord had spoken

       these words unto Nephi, he did stop and did not go unto his own

       house, but did return unto the multitudes who were scattered

       about upon the face of the land, and began to declare unto them

       the word of the Lord which had been spoken unto him, concerning

       their destruction if they did not repent.

      Helaman 10:13

       13 Now behold, notwithstanding that great miracle which Nephi

       had done in telling them concerning the death of the chief judge,

       they did harden their hearts and did not hearken unto the words

       of the Lord.

      Helaman 10:14

       14 Therefore Nephi did declare unto them the word of the Lord,

       saying: Except ye repent, thus saith the Lord, ye shall be

       smitten even unto destruction.

      Helaman 10:15

       15 And it came to pass that when Nephi had declared unto them

       the word, behold, they did still harden their hearts and would

       not hearken unto his words; therefore they did revile against

       him, and did seek to lay their hands upon him that they might

       cast him into prison.

      Helaman 10:16

       16 But behold, the power of God was with him, and they could not

       take him to cast him into prison, for he was taken by the Spirit

       and conveyed away out of the midst of them.

      Helaman 10:17

       17 And it came to pass that thus he did go forth in the Spirit,

       from multitude to multitude, declaring the word of God, even

       until he had declared it unto them all, or sent it forth among

       all the people.

      Helaman 10:18

       18 And it came to pass that they would not hearken unto his

       words; and there began to be contentions, insomuch that they were

       divided against themselves and began to slay one another with the

       sword.

      Helaman 10:19

       19 And thus ended the seventy and first year of the reign of the

       judges over the people of Nephi.

      Helaman 11 Chapter 11

      Helaman 11:1

       1 And now it came to pass in the seventy and second year of the

       reign of the judges that the contentions did increase, insomuch

       that there were wars throughout all the land among all the people

       of Nephi.

      Helaman 11:2

       2 And it was this secret band of robbers who did carry on this

       work of destruction and wickedness. And this war did last all

       that year; and in the seventy and third year it did also last.

      Helaman 11:3

       3 And it came to pass that in this year Nephi did cry unto the

       Lord, saying:

      Helaman 11:4

       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.

      Helaman 11:5

       5 And so it was done, according to the words of Nephi. And

       there was a great famine upon the land, among all the people of

       Nephi. And thus in the seventy and fourth year the famine
