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.

2 Nephi 29:3

And because my words shall hiss forth —

many of the Gentiles shall say:

A Bible! A Bible! We have got a Bible,

and there cannot be any more Bible.

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 30:1

And now behold, my beloved brethren, I would speak unto you;

for I, Nephi, would not suffer that ye should suppose

that ye are more righteous than the Gentiles shall be.

For behold, except ye shall keep the commandments of God

ye shall all likewise perish;

and because of the words which have been spoken

ye need not suppose that the Gentiles are utterly destroyed.

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.

2 Nephi 30:3

And now, I would prophesy somewhat more concerning the Jews and the Gentiles.

For after the book of which I have spoken shall come forth,

and be written unto the Gentiles,

and sealed up again unto the Lord,

there shall be many which shall believe the words which are written;

and they shall carry them forth unto the remnant of our seed.
