6 For the Lord knoweth the way of the ^arighteous: but the way of the ^bungodly shall perish.

  34 ^aRighteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.

  1 Thus saith the Lord to his ^aanointed, to ^bCyrus, whose right hand I have ^cholden, to ^dsubdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the ^etwo leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;

  13 Behold the Lord ^aslayeth the ^bwicked to bring forth his righteous purposes. It is ^cbetter that one man should perish than that a nation should dwindle and perish in ^dunbelief.

  10 For behold, this is a land which is choice above all other lands; wherefore he that doth possess it shall serve God or shall be ^aswept off; for it is the everlasting decree of God. And it is not until the ^bfulness of iniquity among the children of the land, that they are ^cswept off.

  32 Behold, this is the law I gave unto my servant Nephi, and thy ^afathers, Joseph, and Jacob, and Isaac, and Abraham, and all mine ancient prophets and apostles.

  6 For have I not the fowls of heaven, and also the fish of the sea, and the beasts of the mountains? Have I not ^amade the earth? Do I not hold the ^bdestinies of all the armies of the nations of the earth?
