Book of Mormon Mosiah 11:27
"who is the Lord, that shall bring upon my people such great affliction"
Book of Mormon Mosiah 19:8
"the king was not so much concerned about his people as he was about his own life"

Noah's recorded speech uses 'my people' four times in two verses (11:27 twice, 11:28 twice) and his tower plea ends 'they will destroy my people' (19:7); the narrator's only direct verdict on his motives (19:8) inverts the possessive claim. The repetition is textual fact; that the record stages it as deliberate irony is the interpretive claim.
