2 Nephi 6:12

And blessed are the Gentiles,

they of whom the prophet has written;

for behold, if it so be that they shall repent and fight not against Zion,

and do not unite themselves to that great and abominable church,

they shall be saved;

for the Lord God will fulfil his covenants

which he has made unto his children;

and for this cause the prophet has written these things.



2 Nephi 6:13

Wherefore, they that fight against Zion and the covenant people of the Lord

shall lick up the dust of their feet;

and the people of the Lord shall not be ashamed.

For the people of the Lord are they who wait for him;

for they still wait for the coming of the Messiah.



2 Nephi 8:3

For the Lord shall comfort Zion,

he will comfort all her waste places;

and he will make her wilderness like Eden,

and her desert like the garden of the Lord.

Joy and gladness shall be found therein,

thanksgiving and the voice of melody.



2 Nephi 8:11

Therefore, the redeemed of the Lord shall return,

and come with singing unto Zion;

and everlasting joy and holiness shall be upon their heads;

and they shall obtain gladness and joy;

sorrow and mourning shall flee away.



2 Nephi 8:16

And I have put my words in thy mouth,

and have covered thee in the shadow of mine hand,

that I may plant the heavens and lay the foundations of the earth,

and say unto Zion: Behold, thou art my people.

Awake, awake, put on thy strength, O Zion;

put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city;

for henceforth there shall no more come into thee

the uncircumcised and the unclean.



2 Nephi 8:25

Shake thyself from the dust;

arise, sit down, O Jerusalem;

loose thyself from the bands of thy neck,

O captive daughter of Zion.
