2 Nephi 4:3

Wherefore, after my father had made an end of speaking

concerning the prophecies of Joseph,

he called the children of Laman, his sons, and his daughters,

and said unto them:

Behold, my sons, and my daughters,

who are the sons and the daughters of my firstborn,

I would that ye should give ear unto my words.

2 Nephi 4:5

But behold, my sons and my daughters,

I cannot go down to my grave save I should leave a blessing upon you;

for behold, I know that if ye are brought up in the way ye should go

ye will not depart from it.

2 Nephi 4:9

And he spake unto them, saying:

Behold, my sons and my daughters,

who are the sons and the daughters of my second son;

behold I leave unto you the same blessing

which I left unto the sons and daughters of Laman;

wherefore, thou shalt not utterly be destroyed;

but in the end thy seed shall be blessed.

2 Nephi 4:15

And upon these I write the things of my soul,

and many of the scriptures which are engraven upon the plates of brass.

For my soul delighteth in the scriptures,

and my heart pondereth them,

and writeth them for the learning and the profit of my children.

2 Nephi 4:16

and my heart pondereth continually upon the things which I have seen and heard.

2 Nephi 4:26

O then, if I have seen so great things,

if the Lord in his condescension unto the children of men

hath visited men in so much mercy,

why should my heart weep

and my soul linger in the valley of sorrow,

and my flesh waste away,

and my strength slacken, because of mine afflictions?

2 Nephi 4:32

May the gates of hell be shut continually before me,

because that my heart is broken and my spirit is contrite!

O Lord, wilt thou not shut the gates of thy righteousness before me,

that I may walk in the path of the low valley,

that I may be strict in the plain road!
