Mormon 4:4

And it was because the armies of the Nephites went up unto the Lamanites

that they began to be smitten;

for were it not for that,

the Lamanites could have had no power over them.

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 5:8

And now behold, I, Mormon, do not desire to harrow up the souls of men

in casting before them such an awful scene of blood and carnage

as was laid before mine eyes;

but I, knowing that these things must surely be made known,

and that all things which are hid must be revealed upon the house-tops —

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 5:12

Now these things are written unto the remnant of the house of Jacob;

and they are written after this manner,

because it is known of God

that wickedness will not bring them forth unto them;

and they are to be hid up unto the Lord

that they may come forth in his own due time.

Mormon 5:14

And behold, they shall go unto the unbelieving of the Jews;

and for this intent shall they go —

that they may be persuaded that Jesus is the Christ,

the Son of the living God;

that the Father may bring about, through his most Beloved,

his great and eternal purpose,

in restoring the Jews, or all the house of Israel,

to the land of their inheritance,

which the Lord their God hath given them,

unto the fulfilling of his covenant;

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 5:20

But behold, it shall come to pass

that they shall be driven and scattered by the Gentiles;

and after they have been driven and scattered by the Gentiles,

behold, then will the Lord remember the covenant

which he made unto Abraham and unto all the house of Israel.

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?
