The Lord Worketh Not in Secret Combinations; They Have Caused the Destruction of This People [the Jaredites] . . . and Also the Destruction of the People of Nephi

Moroni, the compiler and abridger of the Jaredite chronicle, makes clear why this complex and unsettling account concerning Jared and Akish is included in the scriptures—it is a warning to future generations of the destructive consequences of such evil combinations which have the power to bring about the annihilation of a whole nation.
