Wherefore, it burdeneth my soul that I should be constrained,

because of the strict commandment which I have received from God,

to admonish you according to your crimes,

have daggers placed to pierce their souls and wound their delicate minds.

doth abound most plentifully.

that you have obtained many riches;

and because some of you have obtained more abundantly

because of the costliness of your apparel,

and persecute your brethren

because ye suppose that ye are better than they.

because ye were proud in your hearts, of the things which God hath given you,

what say ye of it?

I have led this people forth out of the land of Jerusalem,

by the power of mine arm,

that I might raise up unto me a righteous branch

from the fruit of the loins of Joseph.

and concubines he shall have none;

Ye have broken the hearts of your tender wives,

and lost the confidence of your children,

because of your bad examples before them;

which cometh down against you,

many hearts died, pierced with deep wounds.

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;

that they should have save it were one wife,

and concubines they should have none,

and there should not be whoredoms committed among them.

Jacob 3:10

Wherefore, ye shall remember your children,

how that ye have grieved their hearts

because of the example that ye have set before them;

and also, remember that ye may, because of your filthiness,

bring your children unto destruction,

and their sins be heaped upon your heads at the last day.
