57 And many times did they attempt to administer of their wine to the Nephites, that they might destroy them with poison or with drunkenness.

58 But behold, the Nephites were not slow to remember the Lord their God, in this their times of affliction.

59 They could not be taken in their snares; yea, they would not partake of their wine; yea, they would not partake of wine, save they had firstly given to some of the Lamanite prisoners.
