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.

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.
