20a	Jarom 1: 9. 9 And thus being prepared to meet the Lamanites, they did not prosper against us. But the word of the Lord was verified, which he spake unto our fathers, saying that: ^aInasmuch as ye will keep my commandments ye shall ^bprosper in the land. Omni 1: 6. 6 For the Lord would not suffer, after he had led them out of the land of Jerusalem and kept and preserved them from falling into the hands of their enemies, yea, he would not suffer that the words should not be verified, which he spake unto our fathers, saying that: ^aInasmuch as ye will not keep my commandments ye shall not ^bprosper in the land. Mosiah 1: 7. 7 And now, my sons, I would that ye should remember to ^asearch them diligently, that ye may profit thereby; and I would that ye should ^bkeep the commandments of God, that ye may ^cprosper in the land according to the ^dpromises which the Lord made unto our fathers. Alma 9: 13 (13-14). 13 Behold, do ye not remember the words which he spake unto Lehi, saying that: ^aInasmuch as ye shall keep my commandments, ye shall prosper in the land? And again it is said that: Inasmuch as ye will not keep my commandments ye shall be cut off from the presence of the Lord. Alma 36: 30. 30 But behold, my son, this is not all; for ye ought to know as I do know, that ^ainasmuch as ye shall keep the commandments of God ye shall ^bprosper in the land; and ye ought to know also, that inasmuch as ye will not keep the commandments of God ye shall be cut off from his presence. Now this is according to his word. Alma 37: 13. 13 O remember, remember, my son Helaman, how ^astrict are the commandments of God. And he said: ^bIf ye will keep my commandments ye shall ^cprosper in the land—but if ye keep not his commandments ye shall be cut off from his presence. 3 Ne. 5: 22. 22 And ^ainsomuch as the children of Lehi have kept his commandments he hath blessed them and prospered them according to his word.
b	Lev. 26: 3 (3-14). 3 ¶ If ye ^awalk in my statutes, and ^bkeep my commandments, and do them; Joel 2: 25 (23-26). 25 And I will ^arestore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you. Amos 5: 4 (4-8). 4 ¶ For thus saith the Lord unto the house of Israel, ^aSeek ye me, and ye shall live: Mosiah 26: 30. 30 Yea, and ^aas often as my people ^brepent will I forgive them their trespasses against me.
c	Ps. 67: 6. 6 Then shall the ^aearth yield her ^bincrease; and God, even our own God, shall bless us. Prov. 22: 4 (4-5). 4 By ^ahumility and the ^bfear of the Lord are riches, and honour, and life. Mosiah 2: 24 (21-25). 24 And secondly, he doth ^arequire that ye should do as he hath commanded you; for which if ye do, he doth immediately ^bbless you; and therefore he hath paid you. And ye are still indebted unto him, and are, and will be, forever and ever; therefore, of what have ye to boast?
