It is truly incredible that the eyes of Laman and Lemuel were so blind that it took them four days to figure out that the judgments of God were upon them. Nephi's previous statement, they knew not the dealings of that God who had created them (1 Nephi 2:12), rings true again. They were so wicked that there was nothing save it were the power of God, which threatened them with destruction, [that] could soften their hearts (1 Nephi 18:20).
