And now it came to pass that after Alma had said these things to Helaman, he blessed him, and also his other sons; and he also blessed the earth for the righteous’ sake. And he said:
“Thus saith the Lord God—
Cursed shall be the land,
yea, this land, unto every nation,
kindred, tongue, and people,
unto destruction, which do wickedly,
when they are fully ripe;
and as I have said so shall it be;
for this is the cursing
and the blessing of God upon the land,
for the Lord cannot look upon sin
with the least degree of allowance.”
