#319: Lamentation – “I am Left to Mourn”

7 And now I, Nephi, cannot say more; the Spirit stoppeth mine utterance, and I am left to mourn because of the unbelief, and the wickedness, and the ignorance, and the stiffneckedness of men; for they will not search knowledge, nor understand great knowledge, when it is given unto them in plainness, even as plain as word can be.

(Book of Mormon | 2 Nephi 32:7).

#280: Mayday Monday – In the Tenth Generation*

Joseph Smith
 Translation (JST)
JST in bold***

(*Adam₁-Seth₂-Enos₃-Cainan₄-Mahalaleel₅-Jared₆-Enoch₇-Methuselah₈-Lamech₉-Noah₁₀)

Mayday Monday: Where Mayday reprints a Biblical Crisis.

Reflection: Only ten generations (circa 1700 years**?) to get to the flood! How many years to get from the promise of 1776 American to the corruptions of today?

5 ¶ And GOD saw that the wickedness of man had become great in the earth, and every man was lifted up in the imagination of the thoughts of his heart; being only evil continually.
6 And it repented Noah and his heart was pained, that the LORD had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping things, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth Noah that I have created them, and made them; and he hath called upon me for they have sought his life.
8 And thus, Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.***

#162: Woeful Description

(Describing our day?)

1 WHY do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.*

#149: Woe - “Thou Shalt Be Spoiled”

1 WOE to thee that spoilest, and thou wast not spoiled; and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! when thou shalt cease to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; and when thou shalt make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee.

Old Testament | Isaiah 33:1

#146: Woe to the “House of the Evil Doers”

(In the spirit of Déjà Vu, historical names are redacted so modern names and situations can be read into the WOE / WO of these days.)

1 WOE to them that go down to _________ for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!
2 Yet he also is wise, and will bring evil, and will not call back his words: but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and against the help of them that work iniquity.*

*Old Testament | Isaiah 31:1-2

#145: Woe to Those Offending Little Ones

1 THEN said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!
2 It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.

#134: Warning: “Woe to the Bloody City!”

9 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city! I will even make the pile for fire great.
10 Heap on wood, kindle the fire, consume the flesh, and spice it well, and let the bones be burned.
11 Then set it empty upon the coals thereof, that the brass of it may be hot, and may burn, and that the filthiness of it may be molten in it, that the scum of it may be consumed.
12 She hath wearied herself with lies, and her great scum went not forth out of her: her scum shall be in the fire.
13 In thy filthiness is lewdness: because I have purged thee, and thou wast not purged, thou shalt not be purged from thy filthiness any more, till I have caused my fury to rest upon thee.

#127: Warning - "Ye Rulers of Sodom"

Does this apply to US?

4 Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.
5 ¶ Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
6 From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.
7 Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
8 And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.
9 Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.
10 ¶ Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.*

#125: Woe: Adding Sin to Sin

1 WOE to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:
2 That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!
3 Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.
4 For his princes were at Zoan, and his ambassadors came to Hanes.*
