1 Nephi 16:21

Now it came to pass that I, Nephi,

having been afflicted with my brethren because of the loss of my bow,

and their bows having lost their springs,

it began to be exceedingly difficult,

yea, insomuch that we could obtain no food.

1 Nephi 17:19

And now it came to pass that I, Nephi, was exceedingly sorrowful

because of the hardness of their hearts;

and now when they saw that I began to be sorrowful

they were glad in their hearts,

insomuch that they did rejoice over me, saying:

We knew that ye could not construct a ship,

for we knew that ye were lacking in judgment;

wherefore, thou canst not accomplish so great a work.

1 Nephi 18:13

Wherefore, they knew not whither they should steer the ship,

insomuch that there arose a great storm,

yea, a great and terrible tempest,

and we were driven back upon the waters for the space of three days;

and they began to be frightened exceedingly

lest they should be drowned in the sea;

nevertheless they did not loose me.

And on the fourth day, which we had been driven back,

the tempest began to be exceedingly sore.
