Verse 31
- Prosperity is here linked with wealth. Is this always the case when prosperity is mentioned in the Book of Mormon?

[edit]
Verse 32
- What is meant here by "sorceries"?
- Is the idolatry mentioned here idol worship, or just "idleness"?
- What are babblings?
- What is the connection between "wearing costly apparel" and the other sins mentioned here?
- This verse makes it sound like a good portion of the Nephite society was very wicked. What proportion of the people were actually righteous at this time? How much of wars and destruction during this time are the result of this wickedness?
[edit]
Verse 33
- What do we know about Nephite laws and penalties? Were these in any way related to what we consider to be the Laws of Moses?
