According to Donald Parry, when a word or group of words are introduced, and immediately thereafter the same word or words are repeated, this is called "duplication." Duplication or "immediate repetition" is used to convey a sense of urgency, explains Watson. By duplicating the word "repent," all "workers of iniquity" should feel the sense of urgency to forsake their sins and return unto Deity. Alma's words to the people of Zarahemla include such an admonishment: "Yea, even wo unto all ye workers of iniquity; repent, repent, for the Lord God hath spoken it!" (Alma 5:32). Another instance of duplication in the Book of Mormon is, "Wo, wo, wo unto this people" (3 Nephi 9:2). [Donald W.
