2 Nephi 25:4

Wherefore, hearken, O my people, which are of the house of Israel,

and give ear unto my words;

for because the words of Isaiah are not plain unto you,

nevertheless they are plain unto all those that are filled with the spirit of prophecy.

But I give unto you a prophecy, according to the spirit which is in me;

wherefore I shall prophesy according to the plainness

which hath been with me from the time that I came out from Jerusalem with my father;

for behold, my soul delighteth in plainness unto my people, that they may learn.

2 Nephi 25:10

which should come upon them, immediately after my father left Jerusalem;

Wherefore, these things shall go from generation to generation

according to the words which are written.

2 Nephi 26:8

But behold, the righteous that hearken unto the words of the prophets,

and destroy them not, but look forward unto Christ

with steadfastness for the signs which are given,

notwithstanding all persecution —

behold, they are they which shall not perish.

But the words which are sealed he shall not deliver,

neither shall he deliver the book.

For the book shall be sealed by the power of God,

until the own due time of the Lord,

that they may come forth;

for behold, they reveal all things

from the foundation of the world unto the end thereof.

Read this, I pray thee.

And the learned shall say:

Bring hither the book, and I will read them.

2 Nephi 27:21

Touch not the things which are sealed,

for I will bring them forth in mine own due time;

for I will show unto the children of men that I am able to do mine own work.
