1 Nephi 1:19

And it came to pass that the Jews did mock him

because of the things which he testified of them;

for he truly testified of their wickedness and their abominations;

and he testified that the things which he saw and heard,

and also the things which he read in the book,

manifested plainly of the coming of a Messiah,

and also the redemption of the world.

1 Nephi 1:20

And when the Jews heard these things they were angry with him;

yea, even as with the prophets of old,

whom they had cast out, and stoned, and slain;

and they also sought his life, that they might take it away.

But behold, I, Nephi, will show unto you

that the tender mercies of the Lord are over all those

whom he hath chosen, because of their faith,

to make them mighty even unto the power of deliverance.

1 Nephi 2:11

Now this he spake because of the stiffneckedness of Laman and Lemuel;

for behold they did murmur in many things against their father,

because he was a visionary man,

and had led them out of the land of Jerusalem,

to leave the land of their inheritance,

and their gold, and their silver, and their precious things,

to perish in the wilderness.

And this they said he had done

because of the foolish imaginations of his heart.

1 Nephi 2:18

But, behold, Laman and Lemuel would not hearken unto my words;

and being grieved because of the hardness of their hearts

I cried unto the Lord for them.
