       by the power of Christ; and all things shall be revealed unto the

       children of men which ever have been among the children of men,

       and which ever will be even unto the end of the earth.

      2 Nephi 27:12

       12 Wherefore, at that day when the book shall be delivered unto

       the man of whom I have spoken, the book shall be hid from the

       eyes of the world, that the eyes of none shall behold it save it

       be that three witnesses shall behold it, by the power of God,

       besides him to whom the book shall be delivered; and they shall

       testify to the truth of the book and the things therein.

      2 Nephi 27:13

       13 And there is none other which shall view it, save it be a few

       according to the will of God, to bear testimony of his word unto

       the children of men; for the Lord God hath said that the words of

       the faithful should speak as if it were from the dead.

      2 Nephi 27:14

       14 Wherefore, the Lord God will proceed to bring forth the words

       of the book; and in the mouth of as many witnesses as seemeth him

       good will he establish his word; and wo be unto him that

       rejecteth the word of God!

      2 Nephi 27:15

       15 But behold, it shall come to pass that the Lord God shall say

       unto him to whom he shall deliver the book: Take these words

       which are not sealed and deliver them to another, that he may

       show them unto the learned, saying: Read this, I pray thee. And

       the learned shall say: Bring hither the book, and I will read

       them.

      2 Nephi 27:16

       16 And now, because of the glory of the world and to get gain

       will they say this, and not for the glory of God.

      2 Nephi 27:17

       17 And the man shall say: I cannot bring the book, for it is

       sealed.

      2 Nephi 27:18

       18 Then shall the learned say: I cannot read it.

      2 Nephi 27:19

       19 Wherefore it shall come to pass, that the Lord God will

       deliver again the book and the words thereof to him that is not

       learned; and the man that is not learned shall say: I am not

       learned.

      2 Nephi 27:20

       20 Then shall the Lord God say unto him: The learned shall not

       read them, for they have rejected them, and I am able to do mine

       own work; wherefore thou shalt read the words which I shall give

       unto thee.

      2 Nephi 27:21

       21 Touch not the things which are sealed, for I will bring them

       forth in mine own due time; for I will show unto the children of

       men that I am able to do mine own work.

      2 Nephi 27:22

       22 Wherefore, when thou hast read the words which I have

       commanded thee, and obtained the witnesses which I have promised

       unto thee, then shalt thou seal up the book again, and hide it up

       unto me, that I may preserve the words which thou hast not read,

       until I shall see fit in mine own wisdom to reveal all things

       unto the children of men.

      2 Nephi 27:23

       23 For behold, I am God; and I am a God of miracles; and I will

       show unto the world that I am the same yesterday, today, and

       forever; and I work not among the children of men save it be

       according to their faith.

      2 Nephi 27:24

       24 And again it shall come to pass that the Lord shall say unto

       him that shall read the words that shall be delivered him:

      2 Nephi 27:25

       25 Forasmuch as this people draw near unto me with their mouth,

       and with their lips do honor me, but have removed their hearts

       far from me, and their fear towards me is taught by the precepts

       of men—

      2 Nephi 27:26

       26 Therefore, I will proceed to do a marvelous work among this

       people, yea, a marvelous work and a wonder, for the wisdom of

       their wise and learned shall perish, and the understanding of

       their prudent shall be hid.

      2 Nephi 27:27

       27 And wo unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from

       the Lord! And their works are in the dark; and they say: Who

       seeth us, and who knoweth us? And they also say: Surely, your

       turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's

       clay. But behold, I will show unto them, saith the Lord of

       Hosts, that I know all their works. For shall the work say of

       him that made it, he made me not? Or shall the thing framed say

       of him that framed it, he had no understanding?

      2 Nephi 27:28

       28 But behold, saith the Lord of Hosts: I will show unto the

       children of men that it is yet a very little while and Lebanon

       shall be turned into a fruitful field; and the fruitful field

       shall be esteemed as a forest.

      2 Nephi 27:29

       29 And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book,

       and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity and out of

       darkness.

      2 Nephi 27:30

       30 And the meek also shall increase, and their joy shall be in

       the Lord, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of

       Israel.

      2 Nephi 27:31

       31 For assuredly as the Lord liveth they shall see that the

       terrible one is brought to naught, and the scorner is consumed,

       and all that watch for iniquity are cut off;

      2 Nephi 27:32

       32 And they that make a man an offender for a word, and lay a

       snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just

       for a thing of naught.

      2 Nephi 27:33

       33 Therefore, thus saith the Lord, who redeemed Abraham,

       concerning the house of Jacob: Jacob shall not now be ashamed,

       neither shall his face now wax pale.

      2 Nephi 27:34

       34 But when he seeth his children, the work of my hands, in the

       midst of him, they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify
