Mormon 2:47 - Mormon 3:3
47 But now, behold they are led about by Satan, even as chaff is driven before the wind, or as a vessel is tossed about upon the waves, without sail or anchor, or without anything wherewith to steer her; and even as she is, so are they.
48 And behold, the Lord hath reserved their blessings, which they might have received in the land, for the Gentiles who shall possess the land.
49 But behold, it shall come to pass that they shall be driven and scattered by the Gentiles; and after they have been driven and scattered by the Gentiles, behold, then will the Lord remember the covenant which he made unto Abraham, and unto all the house of Israel.
50 And also the Lord will remember the prayers of the righteous, which have been put up unto him for them.
51 And then, O ye Gentiles, how can ye stand before the power of God, except ye shall repent and turn from your evil ways!
52 Know ye not that ye are in the hands of God?
53 Know ye not that he hath all power, and at his great command the earth shall be rolled together as a scroll?
54 Therefore repent ye, and humble yourselves before him, lest he shall come out in justice against you; lest a remnant of the seed of Jacob shall go forth among you as a lion, and tear you in pieces, and there is none to deliver.
Mormon 3

3 And I, Mormon, wrote an epistle unto the king of the Lamanites, and desired of him that he would grant unto us that we might gather together our people unto the land of Cumorah, by a hill which was called Cumorah, and there we would give them battle.
