therefore they began again to destroy them.

and blessed are this people in this generation,

for I will preserve them.

that we may protect our brethren in the land Jershon;

with the greatest abhorrence;

yea, decreeth unto them decrees which are unalterable, according to their wills,

whether they be unto salvation or unto destruction.

who have been up to the land of Nephi.
