Joseph Smith's Chastisement by the Angel of the Lord

“Presently he smiled, and said in a calm tone, “I have taken the severest chastisoment that I have ever had in my life.” My husband, supposing that it was from some of the neighbors, was quite angry, and observed, “I would like to know what business anybody has to find fault with you!” — “Stop, father, stop,” said Joseph, “it was the angel of the Lord: as I passed by the Hill Cumorah, where the plates are, the angel met me, and said that I had not been engaged enough in the work of the Lord; that the time had come for the record to be brought forth; and that I must be up. and doing, and set myself about the things which God had commanded me to do. But, father, give yourself no uneasiness concerning the reprimand which I have received, for I know the course that I am to pursue, so all will be well.” — Lucy Mack Smith, History of Joseph Smith by His Mother, Chapter XXI”
