Jacob 2:3, 13,

Jacob 3:5, 9, 12

Jacob 2:3

And ye yourselves know that I have hitherto been diligent

in the office of my calling;

but I this day am weighed down

with much more desire and anxiety for the welfare of your souls

than I have hitherto been.

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 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.

Jacob 3:9

Wherefore, a commandment I give unto you, which is the word of God,

that ye revile no more against them because of the darkness of their skins;

neither shall ye revile against them because of their filthiness;

but ye shall remember your own filthiness,

and remember that their filthiness came because of their fathers.

Jacob 3:12

And now I, Jacob, spake many more things unto the people of Nephi,

warning them against fornication and lasciviousness, and every kind of sin,

telling them the awful consequences of them.
