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 1:11

Wherefore, the prophets, and the priests, and the teachers, did labor diligently,

exhorting with all long-suffering the people to diligence;

teaching the law of Moses, and the intent for which it was given;

persuading them to look forward unto the Messiah,

and believe in him to come as though he already was.

And after this manner did they teach them.

Jarom 1:12

And it came to pass that by so doing

they kept them from being destroyed upon the face of the land;

for they did prick their hearts with the word,

continually stirring them up unto repentance.
