2 Nephi 29:4

But thus saith the Lord God:

O fools, they shall have a Bible;

and it shall proceed forth from the Jews, mine ancient covenant people.

And what thank they the Jews for the Bible which they receive from them?

Yea, what do the Gentiles mean?

Do they remember the travails, and the labors, and the pains of the Jews,

and their diligence unto me, in bringing forth salvation unto the Gentiles?

2 Nephi 29:5

O ye Gentiles, have ye remembered the Jews, mine ancient covenant people?

Nay; but ye have cursed them, and have hated them,

and have not sought to recover them.

But behold, I will return all these things upon your own heads;

for I the Lord have not forgotten my people.

2 Nephi 30:2

For behold, I say unto you

that as many of the Gentiles as will repent are the covenant people of the Lord;

and as many of the Jews as will not repent shall be cast off;

for the Lord covenanteth with none

save it be with them that repent

and believe in his Son, who is the Holy One of Israel.
