2 Nephi 12:6–9

Therefore, O Lord, thou hast forsaken thy people,
the house of Jacob,
because they be replenished from the east,
and hearken unto soothsayers like the Philistines,
and they please themselves in the children of strangers.

Their land also is full of silver and gold,
neither is there any end of their treasures;
their land is also full of horses,
neither is there any end of their chariots.

Their land is also full of idols;
they worship the work of their own hands,
that which their own fingers have made.

and the mean man boweth not down,
and the great man humbleth himself not,
therefore, forgive him not.
