Behold, now it came to pass that the people of Nephi were exceedingly rejoiced,

And it came to pass that when Moroni had proclaimed these words,

behold, the people came running together

with their armor girded about their loins,

rending their garments in token, or as a covenant,

or fall into transgression,

and be ashamed to take upon them the name of Christ,

the Lord should rend them even as they had rent their garments.

Now these dissenters,

having the same instruction and the same information of the Nephites,

yea, having been instructed in the same knowledge of the Lord,

they became more hardened and impenitent,

and more wild, wicked and ferocious than the Lamanites —

drinking in with the traditions of the Lamanites;

giving way to indolence, and all manner of lasciviousness;

yea, entirely forgetting the Lord their God.

because of his matchless power in delivering them

from the hands of their enemies.
