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.

Jacob 3:7

Behold, their husbands love their wives,

and their wives love their husbands;

and their husbands and their wives love their children;

and their unbelief and their hatred towards you

is because of the iniquity of their fathers;

wherefore, how much better are you than they,

in the sight of your great Creator?
