them. But behold, they would not hearken unto his words; but
there arose contentions among them, even so much that they did
shed blood among themselves.

Mosiah 7:26

of God, who told them of their wickedness and abominations, and
prophesied of many things which are to come, yea, even the coming
of Christ.

27 And because he said unto them that Christ was the God, the
Father of all things, and said that he should take upon him the
image of man, and it should be the image after which man was
created in the beginning; or in other words, he said that man was
created after the image of God, and that God should come down
among the children of men, and take upon him flesh and blood, and
go forth upon the face of the earth--

Mosiah 7:28
28 And now, because he said this, they did put him to death; and

Mosiah 7:29
29 For behold, the Lord hath said: I will not succor my people
in the day of their transgression; but I will hedge up their ways

shall reap the east wind, which bringeth immediate destruction.

Mosiah 7:32
32 And now, behold, the promise of the Lord is fulfilled, and ye
are smitten and afflicted.

Mosiah 7:33
33 But if ye will turn to the Lord with full purpose of heart,
and put your trust in him, and serve him with all diligence of

pleasure, deliver you out of bondage.
