1 Nephi 17:1, 2, 20

1 Nephi 17:1

And it came to pass that we did again take our journey in the wilderness;

and we did travel nearly eastward from that time forth.

And we did travel and wade through much affliction in the wilderness;

and our women did bear children in the wilderness.

1 Nephi 17:2

And so great were the blessings of the Lord upon us,

that while we did live upon raw meat in the wilderness,

our women did give plenty of suck for their children, and were strong,

yea, even like unto the men;

and they began to bear their journeyings without murmurings.

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.
