Moroni 9:1

My beloved son, I write unto you again

that ye may know that I am yet alive;

but I write somewhat of that which is grievous.

Moroni 9:2

For behold, I have had a sore battle with the Lamanites,

in which we did not conquer;

and Archeantus has fallen by the sword,

and also Luram and Emron;

yea, and we have lost a great number of our choice men.

Moroni 9:3

And now behold, my son,

I fear lest the Lamanites shall destroy this people;

for they do not repent,

and Satan stirreth them up continually to anger one with another.

Moroni 9:4

Behold, I am laboring with them continually;

and when I speak the word of God with sharpness

they tremble and anger against me;

and when I use no sharpness

they harden their hearts against it;

wherefore, I fear lest the Spirit of the Lord hath ceased striving with them.

Moroni 9:7

And now I write somewhat concerning the sufferings of this people.

For according to the knowledge which I have received from Amoron,

behold, the Lamanites have many prisoners,

which they took from the tower of Sherrizah;

and there were men, women, and children.

Moroni 9:18

O the depravity of my people!

They are without order and without mercy.

Behold, I am but a man, and I have but the strength of a man,

and I cannot any longer enforce my commands.

Moroni 9:20

And now, my son, I dwell no longer upon this horrible scene.

Behold, thou knowest the wickedness of this people;

thou knowest that they are without principle, and past feeling;

and their wickedness doth exceed that of the Lamanites.

Moroni 9:21

Behold, my son, I cannot recommend them unto God

lest he should smite me.

Moroni 9:22

But behold, my son, I recommend thee unto God,

and I trust in Christ that thou wilt be saved;

and I pray unto God that he will spare thy life,

to witness the return of his people unto him, or their utter destruction;

for I know that they must perish except they repent and return unto him.

Moroni 9:24

And if it so be that they perish,

we know that many of our brethren have deserted over unto the Lamanites,

and many more will also desert over unto them;

wherefore, write somewhat a few things,

if thou art spared and I shall perish and not see thee;

but I trust that I may see thee soon;

for I have sacred records that I would deliver up unto thee.

Moroni 9:25

My son, be faithful in Christ;

and may not the things which I have written grieve thee,

to weigh thee down unto death;

but may Christ lift thee up,

and may his sufferings and death, and the showing his body unto our fathers,

and his mercy and long-suffering,

and the hope of his glory and of eternal life,

rest in your mind forever.
