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 1:5

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 1:6

And they were scattered upon much of the face of the land,

and the Lamanites also.

And they were exceedingly more numerous than were they of the Nephites;

and they loved murder and would drink the blood of beasts.

Jarom 1:8

And we multiplied exceedingly, and spread upon the face of the land,

and became exceedingly rich in gold, and in silver, and in precious things,

and in fine workmanship of wood, in buildings, and in machinery,

and also in iron and copper, and brass and steel,

making all manner of tools of every kind to till the ground,

and weapons of war —

yea, the sharp pointed arrow, and the quiver, and the dart, and the javelin,

and all preparations for war.
