CHAPTER 36

18 Now, as my mind caught hold upon this thought, I cried within my heart: O Jesus, thou Son of God, ^ahave mercy on me, who am ^bin the ^cgall of bitterness, and am encircled about by the everlasting ^dchains of ^edeath.

18a	Matt. 15: 22. 22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
b	IE in extreme remorse.
c	Jonah 2: 2. 2 And said, I cried by reason of mine ^aaffliction unto the Lord, and he heard me; out of the belly of ^bhell cried I, and thou heardest my voice. Acts 8: 23. 23 For I perceive that thou art in the ^agall of bitterness, and in the ^bbond of iniquity.
d	Prov. 5: 22. 22 ¶ His own ^ainiquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the ^bcords of his sins. 2 Ne. 9: 45. 45 O, my beloved brethren, turn away from your sins; shake off the ^achains of him that would bind you fast; come unto that God who is the ^brock of your salvation. 2 Ne. 28: 22. 22 And behold, others he ^aflattereth away, and telleth them there is no ^bhell; and he saith unto them: I am no devil, for there is none—and thus he whispereth in their ears, until he grasps them with his awful ^cchains, from whence there is no deliverance. Alma 12: 11 (10-11). 11 And they that will harden their hearts, to them is given the lesser ^aportion of the word until they ^bknow nothing concerning his mysteries; and then they are taken captive by the devil, and led by his will down to destruction. Now this is what is meant by the ^cchains of ^dhell. Moses 7: 26. 26 And he beheld Satan; and he had a great ^achain in his hand, and it veiled the whole face of the earth with ^bdarkness; and he looked up and ^claughed, and his ^dangels rejoiced.
