1 Nephi 11:35-36, the Wisdom and Pride of the World versus the Twelve Apostles of the Lamb

35 And the multitude of the earth was gathered together; and I beheld that they were in a large and spacious building, like unto the building which my father saw. And the angel of the Lord spake unto me again, saying: Behold the world and the wisdom thereof; yea, behold the house of Israel hath gathered together to fight against the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
36 And it came to pass that I saw and bear record, that the great and spacious building was the pride of the world; and it fell, and the fall thereof was exceedingly great. And the angel of the Lord spake unto me again, saying: Thus shall be the destruction of all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people, that shall fight against the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
Notice in verse 35 that it clearly states that the house of Israel participates in fighting against the apostles of the Lamb. We do this when we prioritize our own worldly wisdom over the words of eternal life. Pride (or lack thereof) is a key ingredient in this decision-making process.
