1 Nephi 17:22

And we know that the people who were in the land of Jerusalem

were a righteous people;

for they kept the statutes and judgments of the Lord,

and all his commandments, according to the law of Moses;

wherefore, we know that they are a righteous people;

and our father hath judged them,

and hath led us away because we would hearken unto his words;

yea, and our brother is like unto him.

And after this manner of language

did my brethren murmur and complain against us.

1 Nephi 17:41

And he did straiten them in the wilderness with his rod;

for they hardened their hearts, even as ye have;

and the Lord straitened them because of their iniquity.

He sent fiery flying serpents among them;

and after they were bitten

he prepared a way that they might be healed;

and the labor which they had to perform was to look;

and because of the simpleness of the way, or the easiness of it,

there were many who perished.

And he surely did show unto the prophets of old all things concerning them;

and also he did show unto many concerning us;

wherefore, it must needs be that we know concerning them

for they are written upon the plates of brass.
