3 And he also spake unto them concerning the Land of Promise which they had obtained, how merciful the Lord had been in warning us that we should flee out of the Land of Jerusalem,
4 "For behold, " saith he, "I have seen a vision in the which I know that Jerusalem is destroyed,
5 And had we remained in Jerusalem, we should also have perished.
6 "But, " said he, "notwithstanding our afflictions, we have obtained a Land of Promise, a land which is choice above all other lands,
7 A land which the Lord God hath covenanted with me should be a land for the inheritance of my seed;
8 Yea, the Lord hath consecrated this land unto me and to my children forever,
9 And also all they which should be led out of other countries by the hand of the Lord.
10 "Wherefore, I, Lehi, prophesy according to the workings of the Spirit which is in me that there shall be none come into this land save they should be brought by the hand of the Lord;
11 Wherefore, this land is consecrated unto him whom He shall bring;
12 And if it so be that they shall serve Him according to the commandments which He hath given, it shall be a land of liberty unto them;
13 Wherefore, they shall never be brought down into captivity; If so, it shall be because of iniquity,
