115 And according to his word, he did do all things for them;
116 And there was not anything done, save it were by his word.
117 And after they had crossed the river Jordan, he did make them mighty, unto the driving out the children of the land, yea, unto the scattering them to destruction.
118 And now do ye suppose that the children of this land, who were in the land of promise, who were driven out by our fathers, do ye suppose that they were righteous? Behold, I say unto you, Nay.
119 Do ye suppose that our fathers would have been more choice than they, if they had been righteous?
120 I say unto you, Nay;
121 Behold, the Lord esteemeth all flesh in one.
122 He that is righteous, is favored of God.
123 But behold, this people had rejected every word of God, and they were ripe in iniquity; and the fullness of the wrath of God was upon them;
124 And the Lord did curse the land against them, and bless it unto our fathers; yea, he did curse it against them unto their destruction;
125 And he did bless it unto our fathers, unto their obtaining power over it.
