Helaman 12: 4-8
4O how afoolish, and how vain, and how evil, and devilish, and how bquick to do iniquity, and how slow to do good, are the children of men; yea, how quick to hearken unto the words of the evil one, and to set their chearts upon the vain things of the world!
5Yea, how quick to be lifted up in apride; yea, how quick tobboast, and do all manner of that which is iniquity; and how slow are they to remember the Lord their God, and to give ear unto his counsels, yea, how slow to cwalk in wisdom’s paths!
6Behold, they do not desire that the Lord their God, who hathacreated them, should brule and reign over them; notwithstanding his great goodness and his mercy towards them, they do set atcnaught his counsels, and they will not that he should be their guide.
7O how great is the anothingness of the children of men; yea, even they are bless than the dust of the earth.
We are considered less than the dust of the earth, because dust is more obedient than His children. We are also called nothingness to remind us of our dependence on the Lord. We are reminded if we don't repent, we cannot be saved. We need to be humbled to the depths of humility and repent and call upon His name forever and ever.
