Mormon 8:23
1830 Edition
Search the prophecies of Isaiah. Behold, I cannot write them. Yea, behold I say unto you, That those saints which have gone before me, which have possessed this land, shall cry; yea, even from the dust will they cry unto the Lord; and as the Lord liveth, he will remember the covenant which he hath made with them.

Look at what Isaiah said would happen. I can’t write it all down. But I tell you this: The people who lived on this land before me will cry out. They will cry to the Lord from the dust. As the Lord lives, he will remember his promise to them.
