60 Wherefore, a commandment I give unto you, which is the word of God, that ye revile no more against them, because of the darkness of their skins; neither shall ye revile against them because of their filthiness;

61 But ye shall remember your own filthiness, and remember that their filthiness came because of their fathers.

62 Wherefore, ye shall remember your children, how that ye have grieved their hearts because of the example that ye have set before them;

63 And also, remember that ye may, because of your filthiness, bring your children unto destruction, and their sins be heaped upon your heads at the last day.

64 O my brethren, hearken unto my word; arouse the faculties of your soul; shake yourselves, that ye may awake from the slumber of death;

65 And loose yourselves from the pains of hell, that ye may not become angels to the devil, to be cast into that lake of fire and brimstone, which is the second death.

66 And now I, Jacob, spake many more things unto the people of Nephi, warning them against fornication, and lasciviousness, and of every kind of sin, telling them the awful consequences of them;

67 And a hundredth part of the proceedings of this people, which now began to be numerous, can not be written upon these plates;

68 But many of their proceedings are written upon the larger plates, and their wars, and their contentions, and the reigns of their kings.

69 These plates are called the plates of Jacob; and they were made by the hand of Nephi.

70 And I make an end of speaking these words.
