And it came to pass that the Lord did say unto me:
“Cry unto this people—
repent ye, and come unto me,
and be ye baptized,
and build up again my church,
and ye shall be spared. ”
And I did cry unto this people, but it was in vain; and they did not realize that it was the Lord that had spared them, and granted unto them a chance for repentance. And behold they did harden their hearts against the Lord their God.
