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,

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,

nevertheless, it is strange to relate,

not long after their dissensions

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.

Alma 49:22

Now when they found

that they could not obtain power over the Nephites by the pass,

they began to dig down their banks of earth

that they might obtain a pass to their armies,

that they might have an equal chance to fight;

but behold, in these attempts they were swept off

by the stones and arrows which were thrown at them;

and instead of filling up their ditches by pulling down the banks of earth,

they were filled up in a measure with their dead and wounded bodies.
