and I kneeled down before my Maker,

that it reached the heavens.

how is it done?

And while I was thus struggling in the spirit,

behold, the voice of the Lord came into my mind again, saying:

I will visit thy brethren

according to their diligence in keeping my commandments.

I have given unto them this land,

and it is a holy land;

and I curse it not save it be for the cause of iniquity;

wherefore, I will visit thy brethren according as I have said;

and their transgressions will I bring down with sorrow upon their own heads.

Enos 1:20

and I bear record that the people of Nephi did seek diligently

to restore the Lamanites unto the true faith in God.

But our labors were vain;

their hatred was fixed,

and they were led by their evil nature

that they became wild, and ferocious,

and a blood-thirsty people, full of idolatry and filthiness;

feeding upon beasts of prey;

dwelling in tents, and wandering about in the wilderness

with a short skin girdle about their loins and their heads shaven;

and their skill was in the bow, and in the cimeter, and the ax.

And many of them did eat nothing save it was raw meat;

and they were continually seeking to destroy us.

and I saw wars between the Nephites and Lamanites in the course of my days.

Enos 1:26

and I saw that I must soon go down to my grave,

having been wrought upon by the power of God

that I must preach and prophesy unto this people,

and declare the word according to the truth which is in Christ.

and I have declared it in all my days,

and have rejoiced in it above that of the world.

Enos 1:27

and I soon go to the place of my rest,

which is with my Redeemer;

for I know that in him I shall rest.

and I rejoice in the day

when my mortal shall put on immortality,

and shall stand before him;

then shall I see his face with pleasure,

and he will say unto me:

Come unto me, ye blessed,

there is a place prepared for you in the mansions of my Father.

Amen.
