73 And they began to question him, that they might cross him, that thereby they might have wherewith to accuse him;
74 But he answered them boldly, and withstood all their questions, yea, to their astonishment:
75 For he did withstand them in all their questions, and did confound them in all their words.
76 And it came to pass that one of them said unto him, What meaneth the words which are written, and which have been taught by our fathers, saying:
77 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings; that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good; that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, thy God reigneth;
78 Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing, for they shall see eye to eye, when the Lord shall bring again Zion.
79 Break forth into joy; sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem: for the Lord hath comforted his people; he hath redeemed Jerusalem.
80 The Lord hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.
81 And now Abinadi said unto them, Are you priests, and pretend to teach this people, and to understand the spirit of prophesying, and yet desire to know of me what these things mean?
82 I say unto you, Wo be unto you for perverting the ways of the Lord. For if ye understand these things, ye have not taught them; therefore ye have perverted the ways of the Lord.
83 Ye have not applied your hearts to understanding; therefore, ye have not been wise. Therefore, what teach ye this people?
