2 Nephi 2:12
1830 Edition
Wherefore, it must needs have been created for a thing of nought; wherefore, there would have been no purpose in the end of its creation. Wherefore, this thing must needs destroy the wisdom of God, and his eternal purposes; and also, the power, and the mercy, and the justice of God.

It would have been created for nothing. There would be no point to its creation. That would destroy God’s wisdom and his eternal plans—and also his power, mercy, and justice.
