Mormon 4:2

And it came to pass that

the armies of the Nephites were driven back again to the land of Desolation.

And while they were yet weary,

a fresh army of the Lamanites did come upon them;

and they had a sore battle,

insomuch that the Lamanites did take possession of the city Desolation,

and did slay many of the Nephites, and did take many prisoners.

Mormon 4:11

And it is impossible for the tongue to describe,

or for man to write a perfect description

of the horrible scene of the blood and carnage

which was among the people, both of the Nephites and of the Lamanites;

and every heart was hardened,

so that they delighted in the shedding of blood continually.

Mormon 4:18

And from this time forth did the Nephites gain no power over the Lamanites,

but began to be swept off by them even as a dew before the sun.

Mormon 5:9

And also that a knowledge of these things

must come unto the remnant of these people, and also unto the Gentiles,

who the Lord hath said should scatter this people,

and this people should be counted as naught among them —

therefore I write a small abridgment,

daring not to give a full account of the things which I have seen,

because of the commandment which I have received,

and also that ye might not have too great sorrow

because of the wickedness of this people.

Mormon 5:15

And also that the seed of this people may more fully believe his gospel,

which shall go forth unto them from the Gentiles;

for this people shall be scattered,

and shall become a dark, a filthy, and a loathsome people,

beyond the description of that which ever hath been amongst us,

yea, even that which hath been among the Lamanites,

and this because of their unbelief and idolatry.

Mormon 5:17

They were once a delightsome people,

and they had Christ for their shepherd;

yea, they were led even by God the Father.

Mormon 5:18

But now, behold, they are led about by Satan,

even as chaff is driven before the wind,

or as a vessel is tossed about upon the waves, without sail or anchor,

or without anything wherewith to steer her;

and even as she is, so are they.

Mormon 5:23

Know ye not that ye are in the hands of God?

Know ye not that he hath all power,

and at his great command the earth shall be rolled together as a scroll?

Mormon 5:24

Therefore, repent ye, and humble yourselves before him,

lest he shall come out in justice against you —

lest a remnant of the seed of Jacob shall go forth among you as a lion,

and tear you in pieces,

and there is none to deliver.
