Jacob 2:13, 35

Jacob 2:13

And the hand of providence hath smiled upon you most pleasingly,

that you have obtained many riches;

and because some of you have obtained more abundantly

than that of your brethren

ye are lifted up in the pride of your hearts, and wear stiff necks and high heads

because of the costliness of your apparel,

and persecute your brethren

because ye suppose that ye are better than they.

Jacob 2:35

Behold, ye have done greater iniquities than the Lamanites, our brethren.

Ye have broken the hearts of your tender wives,

and lost the confidence of your children,

because of your bad examples before them;

and the sobbings of their hearts ascend up to God against you.

and because of the strictness of the word of God,

which cometh down against you,

many hearts died, pierced with deep wounds.
