1 Nephi 8: 34 – 38
Those who ignore the scorn of the world and remember that they are climbing a different ladder are able to stay at the Tree of Life.
Lehi sees that Laman and Lemuel do not come and partake of the fruit. This causes him to sorrow because he loves them as their parent. He begins to exhort them to follow that they may come to the Lord and He will let them in.
Lehi preaches to them and prophesies to them in hopes that the Lord will be merciful to them.
