1 Nephi 17:48

And now it came to pass that when I had spoken these words

they were angry with me, and were desirous

to throw me into the depths of the sea;

and as they came forth to lay their hands upon me

I spake unto them, saying:

In the name of the Almighty God, I command you that ye touch me not,

for I am filled with the power of God,

even unto the consuming of my flesh;

and whoso shall lay his hands upon me

shall wither even as a dried reed;

and he shall be as naught before the power of God,

for God shall smite him.



1 Nephi 19:14

And because they turn their hearts aside, saith the prophet,

and have despised the Holy One of Israel,

they shall wander in the flesh, and perish,

and become a hiss and a byword, and be hated among all nations.
