Jacob 2:23

But the word of God burdens me because of your grosser crimes.

For behold, thus saith the Lord:

This people begin to wax in iniquity;

they understand not the scriptures,

for they seek to excuse themselves in committing whoredoms,

because of the things which were written concerning David, and Solomon his son.

Jacob 2:33

for they shall not lead away captive the daughters of my people

because of their tenderness,

save I shall visit them with a sore curse, even unto destruction;

for they shall not commit whoredoms,

like unto them of old, saith the Lord of Hosts.

Jacob 3:5

Behold, the Lamanites your brethren, whom ye hate

because of their filthiness and the cursing which hath come upon their skins,

are more righteous than you;

for they have not forgotten the commandment of the Lord,

which was given unto our father —

that they should have save it were one wife,

and concubines they should have none,

and there should not be whoredoms committed among them.
