7 And they stood forth to lay their hands on me, But behold, they did not.

8 And I stood with boldness to declare unto them, yea, I did boldly testify unto them, saying: "Behold, O ye wicked and perverse generation, How have ye forgotten the tradition of your fathers? Yea, how soon ye have forgotten the commandments of God!

9 Do ye not remember that our father Lehi was brought out of Jerusalem by the hand of God?

10 Do ye not remember that they were all led by Him through the wilderness?

11 And have ye forgotten so soon how many times He delivered our fathers out of the hands of their enemies and preserved them from being destroyed, even by the hands of their own brethren?

12 Yea, and if it had not been for His matchless power and His mercy and His longsuffering toward us, We should unavoidably have been cut off from the face of the earth long before this period of time and perhaps been consigned to a state of endless misery and wo.

13 "Behold now I say unto you, that He commandeth you to repent; And except ye repent, ye can in no wise inherit the kingdom of God.

14 "But behold, this is not all - He hath commanded you to repent or He will utterly destroy you from off the face of the earth; Yea, He will visit you in His anger, And in His fierce anger He will not turn away.

15 "Behold, do ye not remember the words which He spake unto Lehi, saying that: ' Inasmuch as ye shall keep My commandments, ye shall prosper in the land '?

16 And again, it is said that: 'Inasmuch as ye will not keep My commandments, ye shall be cut off from the presence of the Lord.'

17 "Now, I would that ye should remember that inasmuch as the Lamanites have not kept the commandments of God, they have been cut off from the presence of the Lord.
