Behold, the Spirit of the Lord hath
already ceased to strive with their fathers;
and they are without Christ and God in the world;
and they are driven about as chaff before the wind.
They were once a delightsome people,
and they had Christ for their shepherd;
yea, they were led even by God the Father.
But now, behold, they are led about by Satan,
even as chaff is driven before the wind,
or as a vessel is tossed about upon the waves,
without sail or anchor,
or without anything wherewith to steer her;
and even as she is, so are they.
(Mormon 5:16-18)
