1 Nephi 1:13

And he read, saying: Wo, wo, unto Jerusalem,

for I have seen thine abominations!

Yea, and many things did my father read concerning Jerusalem —

that it should be destroyed, and the inhabitants thereof;

many should perish by the sword,

and many should be carried away captive into Babylon.



1 Nephi 4:13

Behold the Lord slayeth the wicked to bring forth his righteous purposes.

It is better that one man should perish

than that a nation should dwindle and perish in unbelief.
