2 Nephi 25:8, 18,

2 Nephi 26:7, 10

2 Nephi 25:8

Wherefore, they are of worth unto the children of men,

and he that supposeth that they are not,

unto them will I speak particularly,

and confine the words unto mine own people;

for I know that they shall be of great worth unto them in the last days;

for in that day shall they understand them;

wherefore, for their good have I written them.

2 Nephi 25:18

Wherefore, he shall bring forth his words unto them,

which words shall judge them at the last day,

for they shall be given them for the purpose of convincing them

of the true Messiah, who was rejected by them;

and unto the convincing of them

that they need not look forward any more for a Messiah to come,

for there should not any come, save it should be a false Messiah

which should deceive the people;

for there is save one Messiah spoken of by the prophets,

and that Messiah is he who should be rejected of the Jews.

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.
