behold, they shall come forth according to the commandment of the
Lord, when he shall see fit, in his wisdom.
Mormon 5:14
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
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 5:16
16 For behold, the Spirit of the Lord hath already ceased to
strive with their fathers; and they are without Christ and God in
the world; and they are driven about as chaff before the wind.
Mormon 5:17
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
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 5:19
19 And behold, the Lord hath reserved their blessings, which
they might have received in the land, for the Gentiles who shall
possess the land.
Mormon 5:20
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 5:21
21 And also the Lord will remember the prayers of the righteous,
which have been put up unto him for them.
Mormon 5:22
22 And then, O ye Gentiles, how can ye stand before the power of
God, except ye shall repent and turn from your evil ways?
Mormon 5:23
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
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.
Mormon 6 Chapter 6
Mormon 6:1
1 And now I finish my record concerning the destruction of my
people, the Nephites. And it came to pass that we did march
forth before the Lamanites.
Mormon 6:2
2 And I, Mormon, wrote an epistle unto the king of the
Lamanites, and desired of him that he would grant unto us that we
might gather together our people unto the land of Cumorah, by a
hill which was called Cumorah, and there we could give them
battle.
Mormon 6:3
3 And it came to pass that the king of the Lamanites did grant
unto me the thing which I desired.
Mormon 6:4
4 And it came to pass that we did march forth to the land of
Cumorah, and we did pitch our tents around about the hill
Cumorah; and it was in a land of many waters, rivers, and
fountains; and here we had hope to gain advantage over the
Lamanites.
Mormon 6:5
5 And when three hundred and eighty and four years had passed
away, we had gathered in all the remainder of our people unto the
land of Cumorah.
Mormon 6:6
6 And it came to pass that when we had gathered in all our
people in one to the land of Cumorah, behold I, Mormon, began to
be old; and knowing it to be the last struggle of my people, and
having been commanded of the Lord that I should not suffer the
records which had been handed down by our fathers, which were
sacred, to fall into the hands of the Lamanites, (for the
Lamanites would destroy them) therefore I made this record out of
the plates of Nephi, and hid up in the hill Cumorah all the
records which had been entrusted to me by the hand of the Lord,
save it were these few plates which I gave unto my son Moroni.
Mormon 6:7
7 And it came to pass that my people, with their wives and their
children, did now behold the armies of the Lamanites marching
towards them; and with that awful fear of death which fills the
breasts of all the wicked, did they await to receive them.
Mormon 6:8
8 And it came to pass that they came to battle against us, and
every soul was filled with terror because of the greatness of
their numbers.
Mormon 6:9
9 And it came to pass that they did fall upon my people with the
sword, and with the bow, and with the arrow, and with the ax, and
with all manner of weapons of war.
Mormon 6:10
10 And it came to pass that my men were hewn down, yea, even my
ten thousand who were with me, and I fell wounded in the midst;
and they passed by me that they did not put an end to my life.
Mormon 6:11
11 And when they had gone through and hewn down all my people
save it were twenty and four of us, (among whom was my
