1 Nephi 16:24

And it came to pass that he did inquire of the Lord,

for they had humbled themselves because of my words;

for I did say many things unto them in the energy of my soul.

1 Nephi 17:43

And now, after all these things,

the time has come that they have become wicked,

yea, nearly unto ripeness;

and I know not but they are at this day about to be destroyed;

for I know that the day must surely come

that they must be destroyed, save a few only,

who shall be led away into captivity.

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.
