• Mosiah 17:13–20

  And it came to pass that they took him and bound him, and scourged his skin with faggots, yea, even unto death. And now when the flames began to scorch him, he cried unto them, saying:

  “Behold, even as ye have done unto me, so shall it come to pass that thy seed shall cause that many shall suffer the pains that I do suffer, even the pains of death by fire; and this because they believe in the salvation of the Lord their God.

  “And it will come to pass that ye shall be afflicted with all manner of diseases because of your iniquities.

  “Yea, and ye shall be smitten on every hand,
  and shall be driven and scattered to and fro,
  even as a wild flock is driven by wild and ferocious beasts.

  “And in that day ye shall be hunted,
  and ye shall be taken by the hand of your enemies,
  and then ye shall suffer, as I suffer, the pains of death by fire.

  “Thus God executeth vengeance
  upon those that destroy his people.

  “O God, receive my soul!”

  And now, when Abinadi had said these words, he fell, having suffered death by fire; yea, having been put to death because he would not deny the commandments of God, having sealed the truth of his words by his death.
