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 25:4

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 26:2

for behold, I say unto you that I have beheld

that many generations shall pass away,

and there shall be great wars and contentions among my people.

for behold, my beloved brethren, I say unto you

that the Lord God worketh not in darkness.

2 Nephi 26:29

He commandeth that there shall be no priestcrafts;

for, behold, priestcrafts are that men preach and set themselves up

for a light unto the world,

that they may get gain and praise of the world;

but they seek not the welfare of Zion.

2 Nephi 27:4

for behold, all ye that doeth iniquity, stay yourselves and wonder,

for ye shall cry out, and cry;

yea, ye shall be drunken but not with wine,

ye shall stagger but not with strong drink.

2 Nephi 27:5

for behold, the Lord hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep.

for behold, ye have closed your eyes,

and ye have rejected the prophets;

and your rulers, and the seers hath he covered because of your iniquity.

2 Nephi 27:10

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,

and the revelation which was sealed shall be kept in the book

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.

2 Nephi 27:23

for behold, I am God; and I am a God of miracles;

and I will show unto the world

that I am the same yesterday, today, and forever;

and I work not among the children of men save it be according to their faith.
