Jacob 2:9

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,

to enlarge the wounds of those who are already wounded,

instead of consoling and healing their wounds;

and those who have not been wounded,

instead of feasting upon the pleasing word of God

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

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;

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.

that their skins will be whiter than yours,

when ye shall be brought with them before the throne of God.

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.

Jacob 3:11

O my brethren, hearken unto my words;

arouse the faculties of your souls;

shake yourselves that ye may awake from the slumber of death;

and loose yourselves from the pains of hell

that ye may not become angels to the devil,

to be cast into that lake of fire and brimstone which is the second death.

Jacob 3:13

And a hundredth part of the proceedings of this people,

which now began to be numerous,

cannot be written upon these plates;

but many of their proceedings are written upon the larger plates,

and their wars, and their contentions, and the reigns of their kings.
