Later in the Book of Mormon, we see how various elements of this blessing are fulfilled or referenced when it talks about the Lamanites.3 Wherefore, after my father had made an end of speaking concerning the prophecies of Joseph, he called the children of Laman, his sons, and his daughters, and said unto them: Behold, my sons, and my daughters, who are the sons and the daughters of my , I would that ye should give ear unto my words.4 For the Lord God hath said that: as ye shall keep my commandments ye shall prosper in the land; and inasmuch as ye will not keep my commandments ye shall be cut off from my presence.5 But behold, my sons and my daughters, I cannot go down to my grave save I should leave a upon you; for behold, I know that if ye are in the ye should go ye will not depart from it.6 Wherefore, if ye are , behold, I leave my blessing upon you, that the may be taken from you and be answered upon the of your parents.7 Wherefore, because of my blessing the Lord God will suffer that ye shall perish; wherefore, he will be unto you and unto your seed forever.

Side note: 2 Nephi 4:5 is also a quote from Proverbs 22:610 And now, because of their when they do believe in that thing which they do believe, for because of their firmness when they are once enlightened, behold, the Lord shall bless them and prolong their days, notwithstanding their iniquity—11 Yea, even if they should dwindle in unbelief the Lord shall their days, until the time shall come which hath been spoken of by our fathers, and also by the prophet , and many other prophets, concerning the of our brethren, the Lamanites, again to the knowledge of the truth—12 Yea, I say unto you, that in the latter times the of the Lord have been extended to our brethren, the Lamanites; and notwithstanding the many afflictions which they shall have, and notwithstanding they shall be to and fro upon the face of the earth, and be hunted, and shall be smitten and scattered abroad, having no place for , the Lord shall be unto them.13 And this is according to the prophecy, that they shall again be to the true knowledge, which is the knowledge of their Redeemer, and their great and true , and be numbered among his .14 Therefore I say unto you, it shall be for them than for you except ye repent.15 For behold, the mighty works been shown unto them which have been shown unto you, yea, unto them who have dwindled in unbelief because of the traditions of their fathers, ye can see of yourselves that they never would again have dwindled in unbelief.16 Therefore, saith the Lord: I will not utterly destroy them, but I will cause that in the day of my wisdom they shall again unto me, saith the Lord.
