Take a look at 1 Nephi 2:23 and 1 Nephi 2:24

23 For behold, in that day that they shall rebel against me, I will curse them even with a sore curse, and they shall have no power over thy seed except they shall rebel against me also. 24 And if it so be that they rebel against me, they shall be a scourge unto thy seed, to stir them up in the ways of remembrance.

This is somewhat difficult to figure out who is who in these two verses. I'll rewrite it with proper nouns intead of pronouns.

23 For behold, in that day that the Lamanites shall rebel against me, I will curse the Lamanites even with a sore curse, and the Lamanites shall have no power over the Nephites except the Nephites shall rebel against me also. 24 And if it so be that the Nephites rebel against me, the Lamanites shall be a scourge unto the Nephites, to stir the Nephites up in the ways of remembrance.
