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 9:5

For so exceedingly do they anger

that it seemeth me that they have no fear of death;

and they have lost their love, one towards another;

and they thirst after blood and revenge continually.

Moroni 9:6

And now, my beloved son,

notwithstanding their hardness, let us labor diligently;

for if we should cease to labor,

we should be brought under condemnation;

for we have a labor to perform whilst in this tabernacle of clay,

that we may conquer the enemy of all righteousness,

and rest our souls in the kingdom of God.

Moroni 9:8

And the husbands and fathers of those women and children they have slain;

and they feed the women upon the flesh of their husbands,

and the children upon the flesh of their fathers;

and no water, save a little, do they give unto them.

Moroni 9:10

And after they had done this thing,

they did murder them in a most cruel manner,

torturing their bodies even unto death;

and after they have done this,

they devour their flesh like unto wild beasts,

because of the hardness of their hearts;

and they do it for a token of bravery.

Moroni 9:15

Wo unto this people.

Come out in judgment, O God,

and hide their sins, and wickedness, and abominations

from before thy face!

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 9:17

And the army which is with me is weak;

and the armies of the Lamanites are betwixt Sherrizah and me;

and as many as have fled to the army of Aaron

have fallen victims to their awful brutality.

Moroni 9:19

And they have become strong in their perversion;

and they are alike brutal,

sparing none, neither old nor young;

and they delight in everything save that which is good;

and the suffering of our women and our children

upon all the face of this land

doth exceed everything;

yea, tongue cannot tell,

neither can it be written.

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 9:22

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 9:23

And if they perish it will be like unto the Jaredites,

because of the wilfulness of their hearts,

seeking for blood and revenge.
