city of Nephi.

Mosiah 21:13
13 And they did humble themselves even to the dust, subjecting
themselves to the yoke of bondage, submitting themselves to be
smitten, and to be driven to and fro, and burdened, according to
the desires of their enemies.

Mosiah 21:14
14 And they did humble themselves even in the depths of
humility; and they did cry mightily to God; yea, even all the day
long did they cry unto their God that he would deliver them out
of their afflictions.

Mosiah 21:15
15 And now the Lord was slow to hear their cry because of their
iniquities; nevertheless the Lord did hear their cries, and began

20 And he caused that his people should watch the land round
about, that by some means they might take those priests that fled
into the wilderness, who had stolen the daughters of the
Lamanites, and that had caused such a great destruction to come

Mosiah 21:21

Mosiah 21:22
22 And it came to pass that there was no more disturbance
between the Lamanites and the people of Limhi, even until the
