2 Nephi 25:6

but behold, I, Nephi, have not taught my children after the manner of the Jews;

but behold, I, of myself, have dwelt at Jerusalem,

wherefore I know concerning the regions round about;

and I have made mention unto my children concerning the judgments of God,

which hath come to pass among the Jews,

unto my children,

according to all that which Isaiah hath spoken,

and I do not write them.

men shall know of a surety, at the times when they shall come to pass.

2 Nephi 25:12

But, behold, they shall have wars, and rumors of wars;

and when the day cometh that the Only Begotten of the Father,

shall manifest himself unto them in the flesh,

behold, they will reject him, because of their iniquities,

and the hardness of their hearts, and the stiffness of their necks.

2 Nephi 26:8

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.

unto the children of men.

But, behold, in the last days, or in the days of the Gentiles —

yea, behold all the nations of the Gentiles and also the Jews,

both those who shall come upon this land

and those who shall be upon other lands,

yea, even upon all the lands of the earth,

behold, they will be drunken with iniquity and all manner of abominations —

2 Nephi 27:15

but behold, it shall come to pass that

the Lord God shall say unto him to whom he shall deliver the book:

Take these words which are not sealed and deliver them to another,

that he may show them unto the learned, saying:

Read this, I pray thee.

And the learned shall say:

Bring hither the book, and I will read them.

2 Nephi 27:27

And wo unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the Lord!

And their works are in the dark;

and they say:

Who seeth us, and who knoweth us?

Surely, your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay.

but behold, I will show unto them, saith the Lord of Hosts,

that I know all their works.

For shall the work say of him that made it,

he made me not?

Or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it,

he had no understanding?

2 Nephi 27:28

but behold, saith the Lord of Hosts:

I will show unto the children of men

that it is yet a very little while

and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field;

and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest.
