Jarom 1:2

And as these plates are small,

and as these things are written

for the intent of the benefit of our brethren the Lamanites,

wherefore, it must needs be that I write a little;

but I shall not write the things of my prophesying, nor of my revelations.

For what could I write more than my fathers have written?

For have not they revealed the plan of salvation?

I say unto you, Yea;

and this sufficeth me.

Jarom 1:3

Behold, it is expedient that much should be done among this people,

because of the hardness of their hearts, and the deafness of their ears,

and the blindness of their minds, and the stiffness of their necks;

nevertheless, God is exceedingly merciful unto them,

and has not as yet swept them off from the face of the land.

Jarom 1:4

And there are many among us who have many revelations,

for they are not all stiffnecked.

And as many as are not stiffnecked and have faith,

have communion with the Holy Spirit,

which maketh manifest unto the children of men, according to their faith.

Jarom 1:5

And now, behold, two hundred years had passed away,

and the people of Nephi had waxed strong in the land.

They observed to keep the law of Moses

and the sabbath day holy unto the Lord.

And they profaned not; neither did they blaspheme.

And the laws of the land were exceedingly strict.

Jarom 1:9

And thus being prepared to meet the Lamanites,

they did not prosper against us.

But the word of the Lord was verified, which he spake unto our fathers,

saying that: Inasmuch as ye will keep my commandments

ye shall prosper in the land.

Jarom 1:10

And it came to pass that the prophets of the Lord

did threaten the people of Nephi, according to the word of God,

that if they did not keep the commandments, but should fall into transgression,

they should be destroyed from off the face of the land.

Jarom 1:14

And I, Jarom, do not write more,

for the plates are small.

But behold, my brethren, ye can go to the other plates of Nephi;

for behold, upon them the records of our wars are engraven,

according to the writings of the kings,

or those which they caused to be written.
