“Man Shall Spare His Brother”

K. Douglas Bassett

(Jer. 19:9; Moro. 9:10; refer in Latter-day Commentary on the Book of Mormon, Bassett, to Moro. 9:20)

The third evil to visit Israel is the wickedness which is likened to a forest fire. The fire of wickedness will sweep on, using the people for fuel. All will be consumed in wickedness. This wickedness is so severe that brothers will “consume” brothers, members of their own families, and even themselves—and will still not be satisfied.
