25 And I had faith, and I did cry unto God, that he would preserve the records;

26 And he covenanted with me that he would bring them forth unto the Lamanites, in his own due time.

27 And I, Enos, knew it would be according to the covenant which he had made; wherefore, my soul did rest.

28 And the Lord said unto me, Thy fathers have also required of me this thing; and it shall be done unto them according to their faith, for their faith was like unto thine.

29 And now it came to pass, that I, Enos, went about among the people of Nephi, prophesying of things to come, and testifying of the things which I had heard and seen.

30 And I bear record that the people of Nephi did seek diligently to restore the Lamanites unto the true faith in God.

31 But our labors were vain; their hatred was fixed, and they were led by their evil nature, that they became wild, and ferocious, and a bloodthirsty people; full of idolatry, and filthiness;

32 Feeding upon beasts of prey, dwelling in tents, and wandering about in the wilderness, with a short skin girted about their loins, and their heads shaven; and their skill was in the bow, and the cimeter, and the ax.

33 And many of them did eat nothing save it was raw meat; and they were continually seeking to destroy us.

34 And it came to pass that the people of Nephi did till the land, and raise all manner of grain, and of fruit, and flocks of herds, and flocks of all manner of cattle, of every kind, and goats, and wild goats, and also many horses.

35 And there were exceeding many prophets among us.
