2 Nephi 13:13–15

The Lord standeth up to plead,
and standeth to judge the people.

The Lord will enter into judgment
with the ancients of his people
and the princes thereof;
for ye have eaten up the vineyard
and the spoil of the poor in your houses.

What mean ye?
Ye beat my people to pieces,
and grind the faces of the poor,
saith the Lord God of Hosts.
