Oh the vainness, the frailties, and the foolishness of men
When they think they are wise, they then
cease to listen
Let us not set aside great wisdom we know is of profit
For God sends to us counsel through His beloved prophets
Shall we deliver our independence
To the bondage of worldly men's judgment?
When to God we owe our allegiance
Shall we heed loud overriding comments?
For the revelations of God
And the whisperings that flow
I am blessed with His iron rod
That I can hold to...and know
“’O the vainness, and the frailties, and the foolishness of men! When they are learned they think they are wise, and they hearken not unto the counsel of God, for they set it aside, supposing they know of themselves, wherefore, their wisdom is foolishness and it profiteth them not. And they shall perish.
‘But to be learned is good if they hearken unto the counsels of God’ (2 Nephi 9:28-29).
President Ezra Taft Benson declared, “When pride has a hold on our hearts, we lose our independence of the world and deliver our freedoms to the bondage of men’s judgement. The world shouts louder than the whisperings of the Holy Ghost. The reasoning of men overrides the revelations of God, and the proud let go of the iron rod.” (See 1 Nephi 8:19-28, 11:25, 15:23-24.)
