2 Nephi 25:1

Now I, Nephi, do speak somewhat

concerning the words which I have written,

which have been spoken by the mouth of Isaiah.

For behold, Isaiah spake many things which were hard

for many of my people to understand;

for they know not concerning the manner of prophesying among the Jews.

2 Nephi 25:2

For I, Nephi, have not taught them many things concerning the manner of the Jews;

for their works were works of darkness,

and their doings were doings of abominations.

2 Nephi 25:5

Yea, and my soul delighteth in the words of Isaiah,

for I came out from Jerusalem,

and mine eyes hath beheld the things of the Jews,

and I know that the Jews do understand the things of the prophets,

and there is none other people

that understand the things which were spoken unto the Jews

like unto them,

save it be that they are taught after the manner of the things of the Jews.

2 Nephi 25:9

And as one generation hath been destroyed among the Jews because of iniquity,

even so have they been destroyed

from generation to generation according to their iniquities;

and never hath any of them been destroyed

save it were foretold them by the prophets of the Lord.

2 Nephi 26:16

For those who shall be destroyed shall speak unto them out of the ground,

and their speech shall be low out of the dust,

and their voice shall be as one that hath a familiar spirit;

for the Lord God will give unto him power,

that he may whisper concerning them,

even as it were out of the ground;

and their speech shall whisper out of the dust.

2 Nephi 26:30

Behold, the Lord hath forbidden this thing;

wherefore, the Lord God hath given a commandment

that all men should have charity, which charity is love.

And except they should have charity they were nothing.

Wherefore, if they should have charity

they would not suffer the laborer in Zion to perish.

2 Nephi 27:11

And the day cometh that the words of the book which were sealed

shall be read upon the house tops;

and they shall be read by the power of Christ;

and all things shall be revealed unto the children of men

which ever have been among the children of men,

and which ever will be even unto the end of the earth.

2 Nephi 27:13

And there is none other which shall view it,

save it be a few according to the will of God,

to bear testimony of his word unto the children of men;

for the Lord God hath said

that the words of the faithful should speak as if it were from the dead.
