2 Nephi 6:2

Behold, my beloved brethren,

I, Jacob, having been called of God,

and ordained after the manner of his holy order,

and having been consecrated by my brother Nephi,

unto whom ye look as a king or a protector,

and on whom ye depend for safety,

behold ye know that I have spoken unto you exceedingly many things.



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 7:4

The Lord God hath given me the tongue of the learned,

that I should know how to speak a word in season

unto thee, O house of Israel. When ye are weary

he waketh morning by morning.

He waketh mine ear to hear as the learned.



2 Nephi 7:7

For the Lord God will help me,

therefore shall I not be confounded.

Therefore have I set my face like a flint,

and I know that I shall not be ashamed.



2 Nephi 7:9

For the Lord God will help me.

And all they who shall condemn me,

behold, all they shall wax old as a garment,

and the moth shall eat them up.



2 Nephi 8:4

Hearken unto me, my people;

and give ear unto me, O my nation;

for a law shall proceed from me,

and I will make my judgment to rest for a light for the people.



2 Nephi 8:6

Lift up your eyes to the heavens,

and look upon the earth beneath;

for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke,

and the earth shall wax old like a garment;

and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner.

But my salvation shall be forever,

and my righteousness shall not be abolished.



2 Nephi 8:8

For the moth shall eat them up like a garment,

and the worm shall eat them like wool.

But my righteousness shall be forever,

and my salvation from generation to generation.



2 Nephi 8:10

Art thou not he who hath dried the sea,

the waters of the great deep;

that hath made the depths of the sea a way

for the ransomed to pass over?



2 Nephi 8:20

Thy sons have fainted, save these two;

they lie at the head of all the streets; as a wild bull in a net,

they are full of the fury of the Lord, the rebuke of thy God.
