2 Nephi 4:14

For I, Nephi, was constrained to speak unto them, according to his word;

for a more history part are written upon mine other plates.

unto the causing of them to quake before me.

yea, my voice have I sent up on high;

and angels came down and ministered unto me.

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!

2 Nephi 4:33

O Lord, wilt thou encircle me around in the robe of thy righteousness!

O Lord, wilt thou make a way for mine escape before mine enemies!

Wilt thou make my path straight before me!

Wilt thou not place a stumbling block in my way —

but that thou wouldst clear my way before me,

and hedge not up my way, but the ways of mine enemy.
