Here we find the first of many examples of the Nephites
meeting with prosperity, followed by pride over their clothing (v. 13). With the Nephites, their pride often seems to
start with their clothing. And as the
Book of Mormon was written for our benefit, perhaps we should pay close
attention to this. It isn’t the clothing
that’s the problem, of course – it’s the pride.
Jacob begs his people (and us) to not allow “this pride of your hearts
to destroy your souls!” (v. 16).
