HIS REIGN AND MINISTRY

CHAPTER 19

7 For the things which some men esteem to be of great worth, both to the body and soul, others set at ^anaught and trample under their feet. Yea, even the very God of Israel do men ^btrample under their feet; I say, trample under their feet but I would speak in other words—they set him at naught, and ^chearken not to the voice of his counsels.

And because they desired it God hath done it, that they may ⁱstumble. D&C 3: 7 (4-13) 7 For, behold, you should not have ^afeared man more than God.
