1 Nephi 17:20,

1 Nephi 18:17



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 18:17

Now my father, Lehi, had said many things unto them,

and also unto the sons of Ishmael;

but, behold, they did breathe out much threatenings

against anyone that should speak for me;

and my parents being stricken in years,

and having suffered much grief because of their children,

they were brought down, yea, even upon their sick-beds.
