if they had not hearkened unto the words of the Lord?

1 Nephi 18:10

And I, Nephi, began to fear exceedingly lest the Lord should be angry with us,

and smite us because of our iniquity,

that we should be swallowed up in the depths of the sea;

but behold they were angry with me, saying:

We will not that our younger brother shall be a ruler over us.
