2 Nephi 28:24

Therefore, wo be unto him that is at ease in Zion!


2 Nephi 28:25

Wo be unto him that crieth:

All is well!


2 Nephi 28:26

Yea, wo be unto him that hearkeneth unto the precepts of men,

and denieth the power of God, and the gift of the Holy Ghost!


2 Nephi 28:27

Yea, wo be unto him that saith:

We have received, and we need no more!


2 Nephi 28:28

And in fine, wo unto all those

who tremble, and are angry because of the truth of God!

For behold, he that is built upon the rock receiveth it with gladness;

and he that is built upon a sandy foundation trembleth lest he shall fall.


2 Nephi 28:29

Wo be unto him that shall say:

We have received the word of God,

and we need no more of the word of God,

for we have enough!


2 Nephi 28:30

For behold, thus saith the Lord God:

I will give unto the children of men line upon line, precept upon precept,

here a little and there a little;

and blessed are those who hearken unto my precepts,

and lend an ear unto my counsel,

for they shall learn wisdom;

for unto him that receiveth I will give more;

and from them that shall say, We have enough,

from them shall be taken away even that which they have.


2 Nephi 28:31

Cursed is he that putteth his trust in man, or maketh flesh his arm,

or shall hearken unto the precepts of men,

save their precepts shall be given by the power of the Holy Ghost.


2 Nephi 28:32

Wo be unto the Gentiles, saith the Lord God of Hosts!

For notwithstanding I shall lengthen out mine arm unto them from day to day,

they will deny me;

nevertheless, I will be merciful unto them, saith the Lord God,

if they will repent and come unto me;

for mine arm is lengthened out all the day long, saith the Lord God of Hosts.
