1 Nephi 16:25

And it came to pass that the voice of the Lord came unto my father;

and he was truly chastened because of his murmuring against the Lord,

insomuch that he was brought down into the depths of sorrow.

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.

1 Nephi 17:46

And ye also know that by the power of his almighty word

he can cause the earth that it shall pass away;

yea, and ye know that by his word he can cause

the rough places to be made smooth, and smooth places shall be broken up.

O, then, why is it, that ye can be so hard in your hearts?

1 Nephi 18:11

And it came to pass that Laman and Lemuel did take me and bind me with cords,

and they did treat me with much harshness;

nevertheless, the Lord did suffer it that he might show forth his power,

unto the fulfilling of his word which he had spoken concerning the wicked.

1 Nephi 19:2

And I knew not at the time when I made them

that I should be commanded of the Lord to make these plates;

wherefore, the record of my father, and the genealogy of his fathers,

and the more part of all our proceedings in the wilderness

are engraven upon those first plates of which I have spoken;

wherefore, the things which transpired before I made these plates

are, of a truth, more particularly made mention upon the first plates.

1 Nephi 19:7

For the things which some men esteem to be of great worth,

both to the body and soul,

others set at naught and trample under their feet.

Yea, even the very God of Israel do men trample under their feet;

I say, trample under their feet

but I would speak in other words —

they set him at naught, and hearken not to the voice of his counsels.

1 Nephi 19:9

And the world, because of their iniquity, shall judge him to be a thing of naught;

wherefore they scourge him, and he suffereth it;

and they smite him, and he suffereth it.

Yea, they spit upon him, and he suffereth it,

because of his loving kindness and his long-suffering towards the children of men.

1 Nephi 19:10

And the God of our fathers, who were led out of Egypt, out of bondage,

and also were preserved in the wilderness by him,

yea, the God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, yieldeth himself,

according to the words of the angel,

as a man, into the hands of wicked men,

to be lifted up, according to the words of Zenock,

and to be crucified, according to the words of Neum,

and to be buried in a sepulchre, according to the words of Zenos,

which he spake concerning the three days of darkness,

which should be a sign given of his death unto those

who should inhabit the isles of the sea,

more especially given unto those who are of the house of Israel.

1 Nephi 19:11

For thus spake the prophet:

The Lord God surely shall visit all the house of Israel at that day,

some with his voice, because of their righteousness,

unto their great joy and salvation,

and others with the thunderings and the lightnings of his power,

by tempest, by fire, and by smoke, and vapor of darkness,

and by the opening of the earth,

and by mountains which shall be carried up.
