Behold, my voice shall forever ascend up unto thee, my rock and mine everlasting God. Amen.

 5:1 Behold, it came to pass that I, Nephi, did cry much unto the Lord my God, because of the anger of my brethren.

 5:2 But behold, their anger did increase against me, insomuch that they did seek to take away my life.

 5:3 Yea, they did murmur against me, saying: Our younger brother thinks to rule over us; and we have had much trial because of him; wherefore, now let us slay him, that we may not be afflicted more because of his words. For behold, we will not have him to be our ruler; for it belongs unto us, who are the elder brethren, to rule over this people.
