Moroni 8:31 - Moroni 9:5
31 "Behold, the pride of this nation, or the pride of the Nephites, hath proved their destruction, except they should repent;
32 Pray for them, my son, that repentance may come unto them.
33 "But behold, I fear lest the Spirit hath ceased striving with them; And in this part of the land they are also seeking to put down all power and authority which cometh from God, And they are denying the Holy Ghost;
34 And after rejecting so great a knowledge, my son, they must perish soon, Unto the fulfilling of the prophecies which were spoken by the prophets, as well as the words of our Savior Himself.
35 "Farewell, my son, until I shall write unto you or shall meet you again. Amen."
Moroni 9
Intro: The second epistle of Mormon to his son Moroni.
1 "My beloved son, I write unto you again that ye may know that I am yet alive; But I write somewhat that which is grievous.
2 "For behold, I have had a sore battle with the Lamanites, in the which we did not conquer; And Archeantus has fallen by the sword, and also Laram and Emron, Yea, and we have lost a great number of our choice men.
3 "And now behold, my son, I fear lest the Lamanites shall destroy this people, for they do not repent, And Satan stirreth them up continually to anger one with another.
4 "Behold, I am laboring with them continually; And when I speak the word of God with sharpness, they tremble and anger against me; And when I use no sharpness, they harden their hearts against it; Wherefore, I fear lest the Spirit of the Lord hath ceased striving with them;
5 For so exceedingly do they anger, that it seemeth me that they have no fear of death; And they have lost their love one toward another; And they thirst after blood and revenge continually.
