1 Nephi 17:17

And when my brethren saw that I was about to build a ship,

they began to murmur against me, saying:

our brother is a fool,

for he thinketh that he can build a ship;

yea, and he also thinketh that he can cross these great waters.

1 Nephi 17:22

And we know that the people who were in the land of Jerusalem

were a righteous people;

for they kept the statutes and judgments of the Lord,

and all his commandments, according to the law of Moses;

wherefore, we know that they are a righteous people;

and our father hath judged them,

and hath led us away because we would hearken unto his words;

yea, and our brother is like unto him.

And after this manner of language

did my brethren murmur and complain against us.
