Mormon 9:30

Behold, I speak unto you as though I spake from the dead;

for I know that ye shall have my words.

Mormon 9:31

Condemn me not because of mine imperfection,

neither my father, because of his imperfection,

neither them who have written before him;

but rather give thanks unto God

that he hath made manifest unto you our imperfections,

that ye may learn to be more wise than we have been.

Mormon 9:32

And now, behold, we have written this record

according to our knowledge,

in the characters which are called among us the reformed Egyptian,

being handed down and altered by us, according to our manner of speech.

Mormon 9:33

And if our plates had been sufficiently large

we should have written in Hebrew;

but the Hebrew hath been altered by us also;

and if we could have written in Hebrew,

behold, ye would have had no imperfection in our record.

Mormon 9:34

But the Lord knoweth the things which we have written,

and also that none other people knoweth our language;

and because that none other people knoweth our language,

therefore he hath prepared means for the interpretation thereof.

Mormon 9:35

And these things are written

that we may rid our garments of the blood of our brethren,

who have dwindled in unbelief.

Mormon 9:36

And behold, these things which we have desired concerning our brethren,

yea, even their restoration to the knowledge of Christ,

are according to the prayers of all the saints who have dwelt in the land.

Mormon 9:37

And may the Lord Jesus Christ grant

that their prayers may be answered according to their faith;

and may God the Father remember the covenant

which he hath made with the house of Israel;

and may he bless them forever,

through faith on the name of Jesus Christ.

Amen.
