1 Nephi 17:19
And now it came to pass that I, Nephi, was exceedingly sorrowful
because of the hardness of their hearts;
and now when they saw that I began to be sorrowful
they were glad in their hearts,
insomuch that they did rejoice over me, saying:

wherefore, thou canst not accomplish so great a work.
because of the hardness of their hearts;
