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 17:52

And it came to pass that I, Nephi, said many things unto my brethren,

insomuch that they were confounded and could not contend against me;

neither durst they lay their hands upon me nor touch me with their fingers,

even for the space of many days.

Now they durst not do this lest they should wither before me,

so powerful was the Spirit of God;

and thus it had wrought upon them.

1 Nephi 18:9

And after we had been driven forth before the wind

for the space of many days,

behold, my brethren and the sons of Ishmael and also their wives

began to make themselves merry,

insomuch that they began to dance, and to sing,

and to speak with much rudeness,

yea, even that they did forget by what power they had been brought thither;

yea, they were lifted up unto exceeding rudeness.

1 Nephi 18:20

And there was nothing save it were the power of God,

which threatened them with destruction,

could soften their hearts;

wherefore, when they saw that

they were about to be swallowed up in the depths of the sea

they repented of the thing which they had done,

insomuch that they loosed me.
