yea, and set an example for you?

      1 Nephi 7:9

       9 How is it that ye have not hearkened unto the word of the

       Lord?

      1 Nephi 7:10

       10 How is it that ye have forgotten that ye have seen an angel

       of the Lord?

      1 Nephi 7:11

       11 Yea, and how is it that ye have forgotten what great things

       the Lord hath done for us, in delivering us out of the hands of

       Laban, and also that we should obtain the record?

      1 Nephi 7:12

       12 Yea, and how is it that ye have forgotten that the Lord is

       able to do all things according to his will, for the children of

       men, if it so be that they exercise faith in him? Wherefore, let

       us be faithful to him.

      1 Nephi 7:13

       13 And if it so be that we are faithful to him, we shall obtain

       the land of promise; and ye shall know at some future period that

       the word of the Lord shall be fulfilled concerning the

       destruction of Jerusalem; for all things which the Lord hath

       spoken concerning the destruction of Jerusalem must be fulfilled.

      1 Nephi 7:14

       14 For behold, the Spirit of the Lord ceaseth soon to strive

       with them; for behold, they have rejected the prophets, and

       Jeremiah have they cast into prison. And they have sought to

       take away the life of my father, insomuch that they have driven

       him out of the land.

      1 Nephi 7:15

       15 Now behold, I say unto you that if ye will return unto

       Jerusalem ye shall also perish with them. And now, if ye have

       choice, go up to the land, and remember the words which I speak

       unto you, that if ye go ye will also perish; for thus the Spirit

       of the Lord constraineth me that I should speak.

      1 Nephi 7:16

       16 And it came to pass that when I, Nephi, had spoken these

       words unto my brethren, they were angry with me. And it came to

       pass that they did lay their hands upon me, for behold, they were

       exceedingly wroth, and they did bind me with cords, for they

       sought to take away my life, that they might leave me in the

       wilderness to be devoured by wild beasts.

      1 Nephi 7:17

       17 But it came to pass that I prayed unto the Lord, saying: O

       Lord, according to my faith which is in thee, wilt thou deliver

       me from the hands of my brethren; yea, even give me strength that

       I may burst these bands with which I am bound.

      1 Nephi 7:18

       18 And it came to pass that when I had said these words, behold,

       the bands were loosed from off my hands and feet, and I stood

       before my brethren, and I spake unto them again.

      1 Nephi 7:19

       19 And it came to pass that they were angry with me again, and

       sought to lay hands upon me; but behold, one of the daughters of

       Ishmael, yea, and also her mother, and one of the sons of

       Ishmael, did plead with my brethren, insomuch that they did

       soften their hearts; and they did cease striving to take away my

       life.

      1 Nephi 7:20

       20 And it came to pass that they were sorrowful, because of

       their wickedness, insomuch that they did bow down before me, and

       did plead with me that I would forgive them of the thing that

       they had done against me.

      1 Nephi 7:21

       21 And it came to pass that I did frankly forgive them all that

       they had done, and I did exhort them that they would pray unto

       the Lord their God for forgiveness. And it came to pass that

       they did so. And after they had done praying unto the Lord we

       did again travel on our journey towards the tent of our father.

      1 Nephi 7:22

       22 And it came to pass that we did come down unto the tent of

       our father. And after I and my brethren and all the house of

       Ishmael had come down unto the tent of my father, they did give

       thanks unto the Lord their God; and they did offer sacrifice and

       burnt offerings unto him.

       2 And it came to pass that while my father tarried in the

       wilderness he spake unto us, saying: Behold, I have dreamed a

       dream; or, in other words, I have seen a vision.

      1 Nephi 8:3

       3 And behold, because of the thing which I have seen, I have

       reason to rejoice in the Lord because of Nephi and also of Sam;

       for I have reason to suppose that they, and also many of their

       seed, will be saved.

      1 Nephi 8:4

       you; for behold, methought I saw in my dream, a dark and dreary

       wilderness.

       darkness, I began to pray unto the Lord that he would have mercy
