81 And that I, the Lord, did deliver you from destruction;
82 Yea, that I did bring you out of the land of Jerusalem.
83 Wherefore, I, Nephi, did strive to keep the commandments of the Lord, and I did exhort my brethren to faithfulness and diligence.
84 And it came to pass that I did make tools of the ore which I did molten out of the rock.
85 And when my brethren saw that I was about to build a ship, they began to murmur against me, saying,
86 Our brother is a fool, for he thinketh that he can build a ship;

88 And thus my brethren did complain against me, and were desirous that they might not labor, for they did not believe that I could build a ship;
89 Neither would they believe that I was instructed of the Lord.
