Mormon lamented the depraved condition of his people, who by contrast had once been “delightsome.” President Gordon B. Hinckley reflected on some blessings associated with being delightsome and the requirements to achieve such a condition: “There is the great blessing of wisdom, of knowledge, even hidden treasures of knowledge. We are promised that ours shall be a delightsome land if we will walk in obedience to this law. I can interpret the word land as people, that those who walk in obedience shall be a delightsome people. What a marvelous condition to be a delightsome people whom others would describe as blessed!” (in Conference Report, Apr. 1982, 60; or Ensign, May 1982, 40).
