The Book of Mormon - exploring a word pattern

. . . Pattern Eleven Satan:

[553]that they are not cast off forever.
[003]And they did murmer because they knew not the dealings of that God who had created them. Neither did they believe that Jerusalem, that great city could be destroyed according to the words of the prophets. And they were like unto the Jews, which were at Jerusalem, which sought to take away the life of my father.
[004]when Laban saw our property, and that it was exceedingly great, he did lust after it, insomuch that he thrust us out, and sent his servants to slay us, that he might obtain our property.
[009]I saw numberless concourses of people . . . there arose a mist of darkness
[013b]the mists of darkness are the temptations of the devil, which blindeth the eyes, and hardeneth the hearts of the children of men, and leadeth them away into broad roads . . . they became a dark, and loathsome, and a filthy people, full of idleness and all manner of abominations . . . I saw the devil that he was the founder of it
[015]the river water . . . was filthiness . . . an awful gulf, which separated the wicked from the tree of life, also from the saints of God . . . a representation of that awful hell, which the angel said unto me was prepared for the wicked
[016a]they had hardened their hearts again, even unto complaining against the Lord their God
[017b]my brethren began to murmur against me
[018]they hardened their hearts and blinded their minds, and reviled against Moses and against the true and living God
[025]the blood of that great and abominable church, which is the whore of all the earth, shall turn upon their own heads; for they shall war among themselves, and the sword of their own hands shall fall upon their own heads . . . they shall fall into the pit which they digged to ensnare the people of the Lord . . . all that fight against Zion shall be destroyed . . . the time cometh speedily that Satan shall have no more power over the hearts of the children of men . . . he will preserve the righteous by his power, the righteous need not fear . . . blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke must come . . . A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you
[026]Jerusalem is destroyed
[027]a cursing should come upon you for the space of many generations . . . that ye might be a choice and a favored people of the Lord

[11]Satan
