1 Nephi 20:12

Hearken unto me, O Jacob, and Israel my called,

for I am he; I am the first, and I am also the last.

1 Nephi 20:13

Mine hand hath also laid the foundation of the earth,

and my right hand hath spanned the heavens.

I call unto them and they stand up together.

1 Nephi 20:14

All ye, assemble yourselves, and hear;

who among them hath declared these things unto them?

The Lord hath loved him;

yea, and he will fulfil his word which he hath declared by them;

and he will do his pleasure on Babylon,

and his arm shall come upon the Chaldeans.

1 Nephi 20:15

Also, saith the Lord;

I the Lord, yea, I have spoken;

yea, I have called him to declare,

I have brought him,

and he shall make his way prosperous.

1 Nephi 20:16

Come ye near unto me;

I have not spoken in secret; from the beginning,

from the time that it was declared have I spoken;

and the Lord God, and his Spirit, hath sent me.

1 Nephi 20:17

And thus saith the Lord, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel;

I have sent him,

the Lord thy God

who teacheth thee to profit,

who leadeth thee by the way thou shouldst go,

hath done it.

1 Nephi 20:18

O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments —

then had thy peace been as a river,

and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea.

1 Nephi 20:19

Thy seed also had been as the sand;

the offspring of thy bowels like the gravel thereof;

his name should not have been cut off

nor destroyed from before me.

1 Nephi 20:20

Go ye forth of Babylon,

flee ye from the Chaldeans,

with a voice of singing declare ye, tell this,

utter to the end of the earth; say ye:

The Lord hath redeemed his servant Jacob.

1 Nephi 20:21

And they thirsted not;

he led them through the deserts;

he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them;

he clave the rock also and the waters gushed out.

1 Nephi 20:22

And notwithstanding he hath done all this, and greater also,

there is no peace, saith the Lord, unto the wicked.
