11:26 Now it came to pass that when Abinadi had spoken these words unto
them they were wroth with him, and sought to take away his life; but
the Lord delivered him out of their hands.
11:27 Now when king Noah had heard of the words which Abinadi had
spoken unto the people, he was also wroth; and he said: Who is Abinadi,
that I and my people should be judged of him, or who is the Lord, that
shall bring upon my people such great affliction?
11:28 I command you to bring Abinadi hither, that I may slay him, for
he has said these things that he might stir up my people to anger one
with another, and to raise contentions among my people; therefore I
will slay him.
11:29 Now the eyes of the people were blinded; therefore they hardened
their hearts against the words of Abinadi, and they sought from that
time forward to take him. And king Noah hardened his heart against the
word of the Lord, and he did not repent of his evil doings.
Mosiah Chapter 12
12:1 And it came to pass that after the space of two years that Abinadi
came among them in disguise, that they knew him not, and began to
prophesy among them, saying: Thus has the Lord commanded me,
saying—Abinadi, go and prophesy unto this my people, for they have
hardened their hearts against my words; they have repented not of their
evil doings; therefore, I will visit them in my anger, yea, in my
fierce anger will I visit them in their iniquities and abominations.
12:2 Yea, wo be unto this generation! And the Lord said unto me:
Stretch forth thy hand and prophesy saying: Thus saith the Lord, it
shall come to pass that this generation, because of their iniquities,
shall be brought into bondage, and shall be smitten on the cheek; yea,
and shall be driven by men, and shall be slain; and the vultures of the
air, and the dogs, yea, and the wild beasts, shall devour their flesh.
12:3 And it shall come to pass that the life of king Noah shall be
valued even as a garment in a hot furnace; for he shall know that I am
the Lord.
12:4 And it shall come to pass that I will smite this my people with
sore afflictions, yea, with famine and with pestilence; and I will
cause that they shall howl all the day long.
12:5 Yea, and I will cause that they shall have burdens lashed upon
their backs; and they shall be driven before like a dumb ass.
12:6 And it shall come to pass that I will send forth hail among them,
and it shall smite them; and they shall also be smitten with the east
wind; and insects shall pester their land also, and devour their grain.
12:7 And they shall be smitten with a great pestilence—and all this
will I do because of their iniquities and abominations.
