22 For behold, they have rejected the prophets and Jeremiah have they cast into prison,

23 And they have sought to take away the life of my father insomuch that they have driven him out of the land.

24 "Now behold I say unto you, that if ye will return unto Jerusalem ye shall also perish with them.

25 "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."

26 And it came to pass that when I, Nephi, had spoken these words unto my brethren, they were angry with me.

27 And it came to pass that they did lay their hands upon me, for behold, they were exceeding 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.

28 But it came to pass that I prayed unto the Lord, saying: "O Lord, according to my faith which is in me, wilt Thou deliver me from the hands of my brethren?

29 Yea, even give me strength that I may burst these bands with which I am bound."

30 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.

31 And it came to pass that they were angry with me again and sought to lay hands upon me;

32 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.
