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 9:6

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.

behold, the Lamanites have many prisoners,

which they took from the tower of Sherrizah;

and there were men, women, and children.

it doth not exceed that of our people in Moriantum.

which was most dear and precious above all things,

which is chastity and virtue —

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.

how can a people like this,

whose delight is in so much abomination —

Wo unto this people.

Come out in judgment, O God,

and hide their sins, and wickedness, and abominations

from before thy face!

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.
