፵፩ ነገር ግን እነሆ፣ በኔፋውያንና በላማናውያን መካከል በነበረው ታላቅ ጦርነት እርዝማኔና ጦርነቱ እጅግ ረጅም በመሆኑ ብዙዎች ጠጣሮች ሆኑ፤ እናም ብዙዎች ሀበስቃያቸው የተነሳ በእግዚአብሔር ፊት እራሳቸውን እስከሚያዋርዱ፣ በጥልቅ ትህትናም ዝቅ እስከሚሉ ለስላሶች ነበሩ።
But behold, because of the exceedingly great length of the war between the Nephites and the Lamanites many had become hardened, because of the exceedingly great length of the war; and many were softened because of their afflictions, insomuch that they did humble themselves before God, even in the depth of humility. - Alma 62:41
