73 But Laman fled out of his presence and told the things which Laban had done unto us;

74 And we began to be exceeding sorrowful; And my brethren were about to return unto my father in the wilderness,

75 But behold, I said unto them that, "As the Lord liveth and as we live, we will not go down unto our father in the wilderness until we have accomplished the thing which the Lord hath commanded us;

76 Wherefore, let us be faithful in keeping the commandments of the Lord.

77 "Therefore, let us go down to the land of our father's inheritance, For behold, he left gold and silver and all manner of riches;

78 And all this he hath done because of the commandment of the Lord, For he knowing that Jerusalem must be destroyed because of the wickedness of the people -

79 For behold, they have rejected the words of the prophets -

80 Wherefore, if my father should dwell in the land after that he hath been commanded to flee out of the land, behold, he would also perish;

81 Wherefore, it must needs be that he flee out of the land.

82 "And behold, it is wisdom in God that we should obtain these records, that we might preserve unto our children the language of our fathers,

83 And also that we may preserve unto them the words which have been spoken by the mouth of all the holy prophets which have been delivered unto them by the Spirit and power of God since the world began, even down unto this present time."
