18  But God ^aled the people about, through the way of the wilderness of the Red sea: and the children of Israel went up harnessed out of the land of Egypt.

  18  Ask the Father in my name in faith, believing that you shall receive, and you shall have the Holy Ghost, which manifesteth all things which are expedient unto the children of men.

  64  Whatsoever ye ask the Father in my name it shall be given unto you, that is expedient for you;

  8  They have ^aturned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

  11  And the Lord said unto Moses, How long will this people ^aprovoke me? and how long will it be ere they believe me, for all the signs which I have shewed among them?

  13  But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness: they walked not in my statutes, and they ^bdespised my judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them; and my sabbaths they greatly polluted: then I said, I would pour out my fury upon them in the wilderness, to consume them.

  24  But they ^ahardened their hearts and could not endure his presence; therefore, the Lord in his wrath, for his anger was kindled against them, swore that they should not enter into his rest while in the wilderness, which rest is the fulness of his glory.

  34  Or hath God assayed to go and take him a nation from the midst of another nation, by temptations, by signs, and by ^dwonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by a stretched out arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?

  8  Wherefore, we would to God that we could persuade all men not to rebel against God, to ^bprovoke him to anger, but that all men would believe in Christ, and view his death, and suffer his cross and bear the shame of the world; wherefore, I, Jacob, take it upon me to fulfil the commandment of my brother Nephi.

  14  But behold, the Jews were a stiffnecked people; and they ^bdespised the words of plainness, and killed the prophets, and sought for things that they could not understand. Wherefore, because of their blindness, which blindness came by looking beyond the mark, they must needs fall; for God hath taken away his plainness from them, and delivered unto them many things which they cannot understand, because they desired it. And because they desired it God hath done it, that they may stumble.

  37  And now, my brethren, seeing we know these things, and they are true, let us repent, and harden not our hearts, that we ^aprovoke not the Lord our God to pull down his wrath upon us in these his second commandments which he has given unto us; but let us enter into the rest of God, which is prepared according to his word.

  18  It is because you have hardened your hearts; yea, ye will not hearken unto the voice of the good shepherd; yea, ye have ^cprovoked him to anger against you.
