and did stir up the Lamanites to anger against the people of Nephi,

And also, that God would make it known unto them

whither they should go to defend themselves against their enemies,

not in the shedding of blood

but in doing good, in preserving his people,

yea, and resisting iniquity.

Now, if king Amalickiah had come down out of the land of Nephi,
