2 Nephi 13:6–7

When a man shall take hold
of his brother of the house of his father,
and shall say:

“Thou hast clothing,
be thou our ruler,
and let not this ruin come under thy hand—”

In that day shall he swear, saying:

“I will not be a healer;
for in my house there is neither bread nor clothing;
make me not a ruler of the people.”
