Jacob 2:35 - The Law of Chastity

"Behold, ye have done greater iniquities than the Lamanites, our brethren. Ye have broken the hearts of your tender wives, and lost the confidence of your children, because of your bad examples before them; and the sobbings of their hearts ascend up to God against you. And because of the strictness of the word of God, which cometh down against you, many hearts died, pierced with deep wounds."

Jacob outlines the dire consequences of breaking the law of chastity. Compared to the world’s standards, these pleasure indulgences are considered desirable. However, as noted in this account, the hearts of the loved ones incur great damage. The consequences of those sins are not limited to a personal scope but extend to familial spheres as well.
