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?
84 And they said, We teach the Law of Moses.
85 And again, he said unto them, If ye teach the Law of Moses, why do ye not keep it?
86 Why do ye set your hearts upon riches?
87 Why do you commit whoredoms, and spend your strength with harlots, yea, and cause this people to commit sin, that the Lord has cause to send me to prophesy against this people, yea, even a great evil against this people?
88 Know ye not that I speak the truth?
89 Yea, ye know that I speak the truth; and you ought to tremble before God.
90 And it shall come to pass that ye shall be smitten for your iniquities: for ye have said that ye teach the Law of Moses.
