“They Began to Boast in Their Own Strength”

W. Cleon Skousen

Mormon was heartsick as he saw the Nephites boasting of their strength, and manifesting such a hatred toward the Lamanites that they swore by everything holy that they would go out and slaughter them and drive them from off of the face of the land. Mormon was so disgusted with their wickedness and arrogance that he finally gave up.
