2 Nephi 7:1

Yea, for thus saith the Lord:

Have I put thee away, or have I cast thee off forever?

For thus saith the Lord:

Where is the bill of your mother's divorcement?

To whom have I put thee away,

or to which of my creditors have I sold you?

Yea, to whom have I sold you?

Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves,

and for your transgressions is your mother put away.

2 Nephi 7:2

Wherefore, when I came, there was no man;

when I called, yea, there was none to answer.

O house of Israel, is my hand shortened at all that it cannot redeem,

or have I no power to deliver?

Behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea,

I make their rivers a wilderness and their fish to stink

because the waters are dried up, and they die because of thirst.

2 Nephi 7:3

I clothe the heavens with blackness,

and I make sackcloth their covering.
