101 Yea, even if they should dwindle in unbelief, the Lord shall prolong their days until the time shall come which hath been spoken of by our fathers - And also by the prophet Zenos, and many other prophets - Concerning the restoration of our brethren the Lamanites again, to the knowledge of the truth.
102 "Yea, I say unto you that in the latter times, the promises of the Lord hath been extended to our brethren the Lamanites;
103 And notwithstanding the many afflictions which they shall have, And notwithstanding they shall be driven to and fro upon the face of the earth and be hunted and shall be smitten and scattered abroad, having no place for refuge, The Lord shall be merciful unto them;
104 And this is according to the prophecy that they shall again be brought to the true knowledge - Which is knowledge of their Redeemer and their great and their true Shepherd - And be numbered among His sheep.
105 "Therefore, I say unto you, it shall be better for them than for you, except ye repent.

107 'Therefore, ' saith the Lord, 'I will not utterly destroy them, But I will cause that in the days of My wisdom, they shall return again unto Me, ' saith the Lord;
108 'And now behold, ' saith the Lord concerning the people of the Nephites, 'if they will not repent and observe to do My will, I will utterly destroy them, ' saith the Lord, 'because of their unbelief, Notwithstanding the many mighty works which I have done among them; And as surely as the Lord liveth shall these things be, ' saith the Lord."
109 And now it came to pass that there were many which heard the words of Samuel the Lamanite which he spake upon the walls of the city;
110 And as many as believed on his words went forth and sought for Nephi; And when they came forth and found him, they confessed unto him their sins and denied not, desiring that they might be baptized unto the Lord.
111 But as many as there were which did not believe in the words of Samuel were angry with him; And they cast stones at him upon the wall, and also many shot arrows at him as he stood upon the wall;
