CHAPTER 5

37 O ye workers of iniquity; ye that are ^apuffed up in the vain things of the world, ye that have professed to have known the ways of righteousness nevertheless have gone ^bastray, as ^csheep having no ^dshepherd, notwithstanding a shepherd hath ^ecalled after you and is still calling after you, but ye will not ^fhearken unto his voice!

b	2 Ne. 12: 5. 5 O house of Jacob, come ye and let us walk in the light of the Lord; yea, come, for ye have all ^agone astray, every one to his ^bwicked ways. 2 Ne. 28: 14. 14 They wear ^astiff necks and high heads; yea, and because of pride, and wickedness, and abominations, and ^bwhoredoms, they have all ^cgone astray save it be a ^dfew, who are the humble followers of Christ; nevertheless, they are ^eled, that in many instances they do ^ferr because they are taught by the precepts of men. Mosiah 14: 6. 6 All we, like ^asheep, have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquities of us all.
c	Matt. 9: 36. 36 ¶ But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with ^acompassion on them, because ^bthey fainted, and were scattered abroad, as ^csheep having no ^dshepherd.
d	TG Shepherd.
e	Prov. 1: 24 (24-27). 24 ¶ Because I have called, and ye ^arefused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; Isa. 65: 12. 12 Therefore will I number you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I ^acalled, ye did not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but did evil before mine eyes, and did choose that wherein I delighted not. 1 Ne. 17: 13. 13 And I will also be your ^alight in the wilderness; and I will prepare the way before you, if it so be that ye shall keep my commandments; wherefore, inasmuch as ye shall keep my commandments ye shall be led towards the ^bpromised land; and ye shall ^cknow that it is by me that ye are led. 2 Ne. 7: 2. 2 Wherefore, when I came, there was no man; when I ^acalled, yea, there was none to answer. O house of Israel, is my hand shortened at all that it cannot redeem, or have I no power to deliver? Behold, at my rebuke I ^bdry up the ^csea, I make their ^drivers a wilderness and their ^efish to stink because the waters are dried up, and they die because of thirst.
f	2 Chr. 33: 10. 10 And the Lord spake to Manasseh, and to his people: but they would not ^ahearken. Jer. 26: 4. 4 And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord; If ye will not ^ahearken to me, to ^bwalk in my ^claw, which I have set before you, Alma 10: 6 (5-6). 6 Nevertheless, I did harden my heart, for I was ^acalled many times and I would not ^bhear; therefore I knew concerning these things, yet I would not know; therefore I went on rebelling ^cagainst God, in the wickedness of my heart, even until the fourth day of this seventh month, which is in the tenth year of the reign of the judges.
