1 Nephi 16:2

And it came to pass that I said unto them

that I knew that I had spoken hard things against the wicked,

according to the truth;

and the righteous have I justified,

and testified that they should be lifted up at the last day;

wherefore, the guilty taketh the truth to be hard,

for it cutteth them to the very center.

for it cutteth them to the very center.
