2 Nephi 13:8–12

For Jerusalem is ruined,
and Judah is fallen,
because their tongues
and their doings have been against the Lord,
to provoke the eyes of his glory.

The show of their countenance doth witness against them,
and doth declare their sin to be even as Sodom,
and they cannot hide it. Wo unto their souls,
for they have rewarded evil unto themselves!

Say unto the righteous that it is well with them;
for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.

Wo unto the wicked,
for they shall perish;
for the reward of their hands shall be upon them!

And my people,
children are their oppressors,
and women rule over them. O my people,
they who lead thee cause thee to err
and destroy the way of thy paths.
