2 Nephi 9:42

And whoso knocketh, to him will he open;

and the wise, and the learned, and they that are rich,

who are puffed up because of their learning, and their wisdom, and their riches —

yea, they are they whom he despiseth;

and save they shall cast these things away,

and consider themselves fools before God,

and come down in the depths of humility,

he will not open unto them.



2 Nephi 9:43

But the things of the wise and the prudent shall be hid from them forever —

yea, that happiness which is prepared for the saints.
