1 Nephi 16:35

And it came to pass that the daughters of Ishmael did mourn exceedingly,

because of the loss of their father,

and because of their afflictions in the wilderness;

and they did murmur against my father,

because he had brought them out of the land of Jerusalem, saying:

Our father is dead;

yea, and we have wandered much in the wilderness,

and we have suffered much affliction, hunger, thirst, and fatigue;

and after all these sufferings we must perish in the wilderness with hunger.

1 Nephi 17:3

And thus we see that the commandments of God must be fulfilled.

And if it so be that the children of men keep the commandments of God

he doth nourish them, and strengthen them,

and provide means whereby they can accomplish the thing

which he has commanded them;

wherefore, he did provide means for us

while we did sojourn in the wilderness.

1 Nephi 17:25

Now ye know that the children of Israel were in bondage;

and ye know that they were laden with tasks,

which were grievous to be borne;

that they should be brought out of bondage.

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.

And it came to pass that we were about to be swallowed up in the depths of the sea.

And after we had been driven back upon the waters for the space of four days,

my brethren began to see that the judgments of God were upon them,

and that they must perish save that they should repent of their iniquities;

wherefore, they came unto me, and loosed the bands which were upon my wrists,

and behold they had swollen exceedingly;

and also mine ankles were much swollen,

and great was the soreness thereof.

1 Nephi 19:12

And all these things must surely come, saith the prophet Zenos.

And the rocks of the earth must rend;

and because of the groanings of the earth,

many of the kings of the isles of the sea

shall be wrought upon by the Spirit of God, to exclaim:

The God of nature suffers.

1 Nephi 19:21

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.
