67 And it came to pass that there arose a mist of darkness; yea, even an exceeding great mist of darkness, insomuch that they who had commenced in the path did lose their way, that they wandered off and were lost.
68 And it came to pass that I beheld others pressing forward, and they came forth and caught hold of the end of the rod of iron;
69 And they did press forward through the mist of darkness, clinging to the rod of iron, even until they did come forth and partake of the fruit of the tree.
70 And after they had partaken of the fruit of the tree they did cast their eyes about as if they were ashamed.
71 And I also cast my eyes round about, and beheld on the other side of the river of water a great and spacious building;
72 And it stood as it were in the air, high above the earth;
73 And it was filled with people, both old and young, both male and female;
74 And their manner of dress was exceeding fine;
75 And they were in the attitude of mocking and pointing their fingers towards those who had come at, and were partaking of the fruit.
76 And after they had tasted of the fruit they were ashamed, because of those that were scoffing at them; and they fell away into forbidden paths and were lost.
77 And now I, Nephi, do not speak all the words of my father.
