1 Nephi 4
1 And it came to pass that after I, Nephi, had been carried away in the Spirit and seen all these things, I returned to the tent of my father.
2 And it came to pass that I beheld my brethren; And they were disputing one with another concerning the things which my father had spoken unto them,
3 For he truly spake many great things unto them which were hard to be understood save a man should inquire of the Lord;
4 And they being hard in their hearts, therefore they did not look unto the Lord as they had ought.
5 And now I, Nephi, was grieved because of the hardness of their hearts, and also because of the things which I had seen, And knew they must unavoidably come to pass because of the great wickedness of the children of men.
6 And it came to pass that I was overcome because of my afflictions, For I considered that mine afflictions were great above all because of the destruction of my people, for I had beheld their fall.
7 And it came to pass that after I had received strength, I spake unto my brethren, desiring to know of them the cause of their disputations.
8 And they said: "Behold, we cannot understand the words which our father hath spoken concerning the natural branches of the olive tree, and also concerning the Gentiles."
9 And I said unto them: "Have ye inquired of the Lord?"
10 And they said unto me: "We have not, for the Lord maketh no such thing known unto us."
11 "Behold, " I said unto them, "how is it that ye do not keep the commandments of the Lord?
