2 Nephi 20:1–4

Wo unto them that decree unrighteous decrees,
_and that write grievousness which they have prescribed;

To turn away the needy from judgment,
_and to take away the right from the poor of my people,
_that widows may be their prey,
_and that they may rob the fatherless!

And what will ye do in the day of visitation,
_and in the desolation which shall come from far?
_to whom will ye flee for help?
_and where will ye leave your glory?

Without me they shall bow down under the prisoners,
_and they shall fall under the slain.

For all this his anger is not turned away,
_but his hand is stretched out still.
