Helaman 2:64 For as their laws and their governments were established by the voice of the people, And they which chose evil were more numerous than they which chose good, Therefore, they were
ripening for destruction, for the laws had become corrupted.
Helaman 3:64 Yea, even at this time ye are
ripening - because of your murders and your fornication and wickedness - for everlasting destruction; Yea, and except ye repent, it will come unto you soon;
Helaman 4:47 And it came to pass in the eighty and fifth year, they did wax stronger and stronger in their pride and in their wickedness; And thus they were
ripening again for destruction; And thus ended the eighty and fifth year.
