CHAPTER 4

12 And it was because of the ^apride of their hearts, because of their exceeding ^briches, yea, it was because of their oppression to the ^cpoor, withholding their food from the hungry, withholding their clothing from the naked, and smiting their humble brethren upon the cheek, making a ^dmock of that which was sacred, denying the spirit of prophecy and of revelation, murdering, plundering, lying, stealing, committing adultery, rising up in great contentions, and deserting away into the land of Nephi, among the Lamanites—

12a	Obad. 1: 3 (3-4). 3 ¶ The ^apride of thine ^bheart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground? 2 Ne. 20: 33. 33 Behold, the Lord, the Lord of Hosts shall lop the bough with terror; and the ^ahigh ones of stature shall be ^bhewn down; and the ^chaughty shall be humbled. D&C 101: 42. 42 He that ^aexalteth himself shall be abased, and he that ^babaseth himself shall be exalted.
b	1 Tim. 6: 17. 17 Charge them that are ^arich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain ^briches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; 2 Ne. 9: 42. 42 And whoso ^aknocketh, to him will he open; and the ^bwise, and the learned, and they that are rich, who are puffed up because of their ^clearning, and their ^dwisdom, and their riches—yea, they are they whom he despiseth; and save they shall cast these things away, and consider themselves ^efools before God, and come down in the depths of ^fhumility, he will not open unto them. 3 Ne. 6: 12 (10-16). 12 And the people began to be distinguished by ranks, according to their ^ariches and their chances for learning; yea, some were ^bignorant because of their poverty, and others did receive great ^clearning because of their riches.
c	Ezek. 18: 12. 12 Hath oppressed the ^apoor and needy, hath spoiled by violence, hath not restored the pledge, and hath lifted up his eyes to the idols, hath committed abomination, Zech. 7: 10. 10 And ^aoppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the ^bpoor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart. D&C 42: 30 (30-39, 71). 30 And behold, thou wilt remember the ^apoor, and ^bconsecrate of thy properties for their ^csupport that which thou hast to impart unto them, with a covenant and a deed which cannot be broken.
