2 Nephi 6:57 - 2 Nephi 6:67
57 O that cunning plan of the evil one!
58 O the vainness, and the frailties, and the foolishness of men!
59 When they are learned, they think they are wise, and they hearken not unto the counsel of God, for they set it aside, supposing they know of themselves;
60 Wherefore, their wisdom is foolishness, and it profiteth them not. And they shall perish.
61 But to be learned is good, if they hearken unto the counsels of God.
62 But wo unto the rich, who are rich as to the things of the world.
63 For because they are rich, they despise the poor, and they persecute the meek, and their hearts are upon their treasures: wherefore, their treasure is their God.
64 And behold, their treasure shall perish with them also.
65 And wo unto the deaf, that will not hear: for they shall perish.
66 Wo unto the blind, that will not see: for they shall perish also.
67 Wo unto the uncircumcised of heart: for a knowledge of their iniquities shall smite them at the last day.
