      Helaman 12:25

       25 And I would that all men might be saved. But we read that in

       the great and last day there are some who shall be cast out, yea,

       who shall be cast off from the presence of the Lord;

      Helaman 12:26

       26 Yea, who shall be consigned to a state of endless misery,

       fulfilling the words which say: They that have done good shall

       have everlasting life; and they that have done evil shall have

       everlasting damnation. And thus it is. Amen.

      Helaman 13 Chapter 13

      Helaman 13:1

       1 And now it came to pass in the eighty and sixth year, the

       Nephites did still remain in wickedness, yea in great wickedness,

       while the Lamanites did observe strictly to keep the commandments

       of God, according to the law of Moses.

      Helaman 13:2

       2 And it came to pass that in this year there was one Samuel, a

       Lamanite, came into the land of Zarahemla, and began to preach

       unto the people. And it came to pass that he did preach, many

       days, repentance unto the people, and they did cast him out, and

       he was about to return to his own land.

      Helaman 13:3

       3 But behold, the voice of the Lord came unto him, that he

       should return again, and prophesy unto the people whatsoever

       things should come into his heart.

      Helaman 13:4

       4 And it came to pass that they would not suffer that he should

       enter into the city; therefore he went and got upon the wall

       thereof, and stretched forth his hand and cried with a loud

       voice, and prophesied unto the people whatsoever things the Lord

       put into his heart.

      Helaman 13:5

       5 And he said unto them: Behold, I, Samuel, a Lamanite, do speak

       the words of the Lord which he doth put into my heart; and behold

       he hath put it into my heart to say unto this people that the

       sword of justice hangeth over this people; and four hundred years

       pass not away save the sword of justice falleth upon this people.

      Helaman 13:6

       6 Yea, heavy destruction awaiteth this people, and it surely

       cometh unto this people, and nothing can save this people save it

       be repentance and faith on the Lord Jesus Christ, who surely

       shall come into the world, and shall suffer many things and shall

       be slain for his people.

      Helaman 13:7

       7 And behold, an angel of the Lord hath declared it unto me, and

       he did bring glad tidings to my soul. And behold, I was sent

       unto you to declare it unto you also, that ye might have glad

       tidings; but behold ye would not receive me.

      Helaman 13:8

       8 Therefore, thus saith the Lord: Because of the hardness of the

       hearts of the people of the Nephites, except they repent I will

       take away my word from them, and I will withdraw my Spirit from

       them, and I will suffer them no longer, and I will turn the

       hearts of their brethren against them.

      Helaman 13:9

       9 And four hundred years shall not pass away before I will cause

       that they shall be smitten; yea, I will visit them with the sword

       and with famine and with pestilence.

      Helaman 13:10

       10 Yea, I will visit them in my fierce anger, and there shall be

       those of the fourth generation who shall live, of your enemies,

       to behold your utter destruction; and this shall surely come

       except ye repent, saith the Lord; and those of the fourth

       generation shall visit your destruction.

      Helaman 13:11

       11 But if ye will repent and return unto the Lord your God I

       will turn away mine anger, saith the Lord; yea, thus saith the

       Lord, blessed are they who will repent and turn unto me, but wo

       unto him that repenteth not.

      Helaman 13:12

       12 Yea, wo unto this great city of Zarahemla; for behold, it is

       because of those who are righteous that it is saved; yea, wo unto

       this great city, for I perceive, saith the Lord, that there are

       many, yea, even the more part of this great city, that will

       harden their hearts against me, saith the Lord.

      Helaman 13:13

       13 But blessed are they who will repent, for them will I spare.

       But behold, if it were not for the righteous who are in this

       great city, behold, I would cause that fire should come down out

       of heaven and destroy it.

      Helaman 13:14

       14 But behold, it is for the righteous' sake that it is spared.

       But behold, the time cometh, saith the Lord, that when ye shall

       cast out the righteous from among you, then shall ye be ripe for

       destruction; yea, wo be unto this great city, because of the

       wickedness and abominations which are in her.

      Helaman 13:15

       15 Yea, and wo be unto the city of Gideon, for the wickedness

       and abominations which are in her.

      Helaman 13:16

       16 Yea, and wo be unto all the cities which are in the land

       round about, which are possessed by the Nephites, because of the

       wickedness and abominations which are in them.

      Helaman 13:17

       17 And behold, a curse shall come upon the land, saith the Lord

       of Hosts, because of the people's sake who are upon the land,

       yea, because of their wickedness and their abominations.

      Helaman 13:18

       18 And it shall come to pass, saith the Lord of Hosts, yea, our

       great and true God, that whoso shall hide up treasures in the

       earth shall find them again no more, because of the great curse

       of the land, save he be a righteous man and shall hide it up unto

       the Lord.

      Helaman 13:19

       19 For I will, saith the Lord, that they shall hide up their

       treasures unto me; and cursed be they who hide not up their

       treasures unto me; for none hideth up their treasures unto me
