16  There is no king ^asaved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.

  6  For I will not ^atrust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.

  16  A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is ^aconfident.

  5  Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord.

  9  And now, because of this great thing which my people, the Nephites, had done, they began to ^aboast in their own strength, and began to swear before the heavens that they would avenge themselves of the blood of their brethren who had been slain by their enemies.

  8  And it came to pass that they were repulsed and driven back by the Nephites. And when the Nephites saw that they had driven the Lamanites they did again boast of their own strength; and they went forth in their own might, and took possession again of the city Desolation.

  15  And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high ^barm shall be broken.
