2 Nephi 28:14

They wear stiff necks and high heads;

yea, and because of pride, and wickedness, and abominations, and whoredoms,

nevertheless, they are led, that in many instances they do err

because they are taught by the precepts of men.

Wo unto them that turn aside the just for a thing of naught

and in that day that they are fully ripe in iniquity they shall perish.

Yea, they are grasped with death, and hell; and death, and hell, and the devil,

and be judged according to their works,

from whence they must go into the place prepared for them,

even a lake of fire and brimstone, which is endless torment.

2 Nephi 30:4

And then shall the remnant of our seed know concerning us,

how that we came out from Jerusalem,

and that they are descendants of the Jews.
