CHAPTER 12

2 Yea, wo be unto this generation! And the Lord said unto me: Stretch forth thy hand and prophesy, saying: Thus saith the Lord, it shall come to pass that this generation, because of their iniquities, shall be brought into ^abondage, and shall be smitten on the ^bcheek; yea, and shall be driven by men, and shall be slain; and the vultures of the air, and the dogs, yea, and the wild beasts, shall devour their ^cflesh.

Footnotes

2a	1 Kgs. 8: 46. 46 If they sin against thee, (for there is no man that ^asinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and ^bdeliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captives unto the land of the ^cenemy, far or near; Mosiah 11: 21. 21 And except they repent and turn to the Lord their God, behold, I will deliver them into the hands of their enemies; yea, and they shall be brought into ^abondage; and they shall be afflicted by the hand of their enemies. Mosiah 20: 21. 21 For are not the words of Abinadi ^afulfilled, which he prophesied against us—and all this because we would not hearken unto the words of the Lord, and turn from our iniquities?
b	Lam. 3: 30. 30 He giveth his ^acheek to him that smiteth him: he is filled full with ^breproach. Mosiah 21: 3 (3-4, 13). 3 Now they durst not slay them, because of the ^aoath which their king had made unto Limhi; but they would smite them on their ^bcheeks, and exercise authority over them; and began to put heavy ^cburdens upon their backs, and drive them as they would a dumb ass—
c	Deut. 28: 26. 26 And thy ^acarcase shall be meat unto all fowls of the air, and unto the beasts of the earth, and no man shall fray them away.
