1 Nephi 17:20
And thou art like unto our father,
led away by the foolish imaginations of his heart;
yea, he hath led us out of the land of Jerusalem,
and we have wandered in the wilderness for these many years;
and our women have toiled, being big with child;
and they have borne children in the wilderness
and suffered all things, save it were death;
and it would have been better that they had died
before they came out of Jerusalem than to have suffered these afflictions.
and it would have been better that they had died
