for they do not repent,

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

But O my son,

how can a people like this,

whose delight is in so much abomination —

Moroni 9:16

And again, my son,

there are many widows and their daughters who remain in Sherrizah;

and that part of the provisions which the Lamanites did not carry away,

behold, the army of Zenephi has carried away,

and left them to wander whithersoever they can for food;

and many old women do faint by the way and die.

Moroni 9:20

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.

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 9:25

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.
