86 And now behold we will detect this man, and he shall confess his fault and make known unto us the true murderer of this judge.
87 And it came to pass that the five were liberated on the day of the burial.
88 Nevertheless, they did rebuke the judges in the words which they had spoken against Nephi, and did contend with them one by one, insomuch that they did confound them.
89 Nevertheless, they caused that Nephi should be taken and bound and brought before the multitude, and they began to question him in divers ways, and they might cross him, that they might accuse him to death:
90 Saying unto him, Thou art confederate; who is this man that has done this murder? Now tell us, and acknowledge thy fault, saying, Behold here is money; and also we will grant unto thee thy life, it thou wilt tell us and acknowledge the agreement which thou hast made with him.
91 But Nephi said unto them, O ye fools, ye uncircumcised of heart, ye blind, and ye stiff-necked people, do ye know how long the Lord your God will suffer you that ye shall go on in this your way of sin?
92 O ye ought to begin to howl and mourn, because of the great destruction at this time which doth await you, except ye shall repent.
93 Behold, ye say that I have agreed with a man, that he should murder Seezoram, our chief judge.
94 But behold, I say unto you, that this is because I have testifed unto you, that ye might know concerning this thing; yea, even for a witness unto you, that I did know of the wickedness and abominations which are among you.
95 And because I have done this, ye say that I have agreed with a man that he should do this thing; yea, because I shewed unto you this sign, ye are angry with me, and seek to destroy my life.
96 And now behold, I will shew unto you another sign, and see if ye will in this thing seek to destroy me.
