26a	Prov. 5: 22. 22 ¶ His own ^ainiquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the ^bcords of his sins. 2 Tim. 2: 26 (24-26). 26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken ^acaptive by him at his will. 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.
b	Isa. 60: 2 (1-3). 2 For, behold, the ^adarkness shall cover the earth, and gross ^bdarkness the people: but the Lord shall ^carise upon thee, and his ^dglory shall be seen upon thee. Alma 10: 25. 25 But Amulek stretched forth his hand, and cried the mightier unto them, saying: O ye wicked and perverse generation, why hath Satan got such great hold upon your hearts? Why will ye yield yourselves unto him that he may have power over you, to ^ablind your eyes, that ye will not understand the words which are spoken, according to their truth? Alma 14: 6. 6 And it came to pass that Zeezrom was astonished at the words which had been spoken; and he also knew concerning the ^ablindness of the minds, which he had caused among the people by his ^blying words; and his soul began to be ^charrowed up under a ^dconsciousness of his own guilt; yea, he began to be encircled about by the pains of hell. Moses 6: 27. 27 And he heard a ^avoice from heaven, saying: ^bEnoch, my son, ^cprophesy unto this people, and say unto them—Repent, for thus saith the Lord: I am ^dangry with this people, and my fierce anger is kindled against them; for their hearts have waxed ^ehard, and their ^fears are dull of hearing, and their eyes ^gcannot see afar off;
c	Moses 5: 21. 21 But unto Cain, and to his ^aoffering, he had not respect. Now Satan knew this, and it ^bpleased him. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
d	2 Pet. 2: 4. 4 For if God spared not the ^aangels that sinned, but cast them down to ^bhell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto ^cjudgment; Jude 1: 6. 6 And the ^aangels which kept not their ^bfirst ^cestate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the ^djudgment of the great day. D&C 29: 37 (36-45). 37 And they were thrust down, and thus came the ^adevil and his ^bangels;
