2 Ne. 9: 28 (28-29).
  28 O that cunning aplan of the evil one! O the bvainness, and the frailties, and the cfoolishness of men! When they are dlearned they think they are ewise, and they fhearken not unto the gcounsel of God, for they set it aside, supposing they know of themselves, wherefore, their hwisdom is foolishness and it profiteth them not. And they shall perish.
2 Ne. 19: 17.
  17 Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have amercy on their fatherless and bwidows; for cevery one of them is a hypocrite and an devildoer, and every mouth speaketh efolly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his fhand is stretched out still.
D&C 35: 7.
  7 And it shall come to pass that there shall be a great work in the land, even among the aGentiles, for their bfolly and their abominations shall be made manifest in the eyes of all people.
