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 25:5

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 25:13

Behold, they will crucify him;

and after he is laid in a sepulchre for the space of three days

he shall rise from the dead, with healing in his wings;

and all those who shall believe on his name shall be saved in the kingdom of God.

Wherefore, my soul delighteth to prophesy concerning him,

for I have seen his day, and my heart doth magnify his holy name.

2 Nephi 26:7

O the pain, and the anguish of my soul for the loss of the slain of my people!

For I, Nephi, have seen it,

and it well nigh consumeth me before the presence of the Lord;

but I must cry unto my God:

Thy ways are just.

2 Nephi 26:10

And when these things have passed away

a speedy destruction cometh unto my people;

for, notwithstanding the pains of my soul, I have seen it;

wherefore, I know that it shall come to pass;

and they sell themselves for naught;

for, for the reward of their pride and their foolishness they shall reap destruction;

for because they yield unto the devil

and choose works of darkness rather than light,

therefore they must go down to hell.

2 Nephi 26:11

For the Spirit of the Lord will not always strive with man.

And when the Spirit ceaseth to strive with man then cometh speedy destruction,

and this grieveth my soul.
