And it came to pass that he immediately sent an epistle to Pahoran,

which he had been so miraculously prospered in regaining.

Alma 59:9

And now as Moroni had supposed

that there should be men sent to the city of Nephihah,

than to retake it from them,

he supposed that they would easily maintain that city.

And now, my beloved brethren —

for ye ought to be beloved;

yea, and ye ought to have stirred yourselves more diligently

but behold, ye have neglected them

insomuch that the blood of thousands shall come upon your heads for vengeance;

yea, for known unto God were all their cries, and all their sufferings —

Alma 60:13

that his justice and judgment may come upon the wicked;

but behold, they do enter into the rest of the Lord their God.

because ye are in the heart of our country

and ye are surrounded by security,

and also men to strengthen our armies?

Do ye suppose that God will look upon you as guiltless

while ye sit still and behold these things?

and then shall the outer vessel be cleansed also.

And now, except ye do repent of that which ye have done,

and begin to be up and doing, and send forth food and men

unto us, and also unto Helaman,

that he may support those parts of our country which he has regained,

and that we may also recover the remainder of our possessions in these parts,

behold it will be expedient that we contend no more with the Lamanites

until we have first cleansed our inward vessel,

yea, even the great head of our government.

Alma 60:27

And I will come unto you,

and if there be any among you that has a desire for freedom,

yea, if there be even a spark of freedom remaining,

behold I will stir up insurrections among you,

even until those who have desires to usurp power and authority

shall become extinct.

And behold, if ye will not do this

I come unto you speedily;

for behold, God will not suffer that we should perish with hunger;

therefore he will give unto us of your food,

even if it must be by the sword.

Now see that ye fulfil the word of God.
