186 Wherefore, I, Nephi, began to speak to them with much soberness;
187 But behold, they were angry with me, saying, We will not that our younger brother shall be a ruler over us.
188 And it came to pass that Laman and Lemuel did take me and bind me with cords, and they did treat me with much harshness;
189 Nevertheless, the Lord did suffer it, that he might shew forth his power, unto the fulfilling of his word which he had spoken concerning the wicked.
190 And it came to pass that after they had bound me, insomuch that I could not move, the compass, which had been prepared of the Lord, did cease to work;
191 Wherefore, they knew not whither they should steer the ship, insomuch, that there arose a great storm, yea, a great and terrible tempest;
192 And we were driven back upon the waters for the space of three days;
193 And they began to be frightened exceedingly, lest they should be drowned in the sea;
194 Nevertheless, they did not loose me.
195 And on the fourth day which we had been driven back, the tempest began to be exceeding sore.
196 And it came to pass that we were about to be swallowed up in the depths of the sea.
