Alma 45:1

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

But whosoever remaineth, and is not destroyed in that great and dreadful day,

shall be numbered among the Lamanites,

Thus saith the Lord God —

Cursed shall be the land, yea, this land,

unto every nation, kindred, tongue, and people,

for the Lord cannot look upon sin with the least degree of allowance.

Alma 45:19

Behold, this we know, that he was a righteous man;

and the saying went abroad in the church

that he was taken up by the Spirit,

therefore, for this cause we know nothing concerning his death and burial.

who believed in the flattering words of Amalickiah,

therefore they dissented even from the church;

and their great rejoicings which they had had

because of their deliverance by the hand of the Lord.

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.

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.

yea, and resisting iniquity.

if they should keep his commandments

they should prosper in the land.
