1 Nephi 16:38

Now, he says that the Lord has talked with him,

and also that angels have ministered unto him.

but behold, we know that he lies unto us;

and he tells us these things,

and he worketh many things by his cunning arts,

that he may deceive our eyes,

thinking, perhaps, that he may lead us away into some strange wilderness;

and after he has led us away,

he has thought to make himself a king and a ruler over us,

that he may do with us according to his will and pleasure.

And after this manner did my brother Laman stir up their hearts to anger.

1 Nephi 17:35

Behold, the Lord esteemeth all flesh in one;

he that is righteous is favored of God.

but behold, this people had rejected every word of God,

and they were ripe in iniquity;

and the fulness of the wrath of God was upon them;

and the Lord did curse the land against them,

and bless it unto our fathers;

yea, he did curse it against them unto their destruction,

and he did bless it unto our fathers

unto their obtaining power over it.

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;

wherefore, I, Nephi, began to speak to them with much soberness;

but behold they were angry with me, saying:

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

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.
