better land, for the Lord has made the sea our path, and we are
upon an isle of the sea.
2 Nephi 10:21
21 But great are the promises of the Lord unto them who are upon
the isles of the sea; wherefore as it says isles, there must
needs be more than this, and they are inhabited also by our
brethren.
2 Nephi 10:22
22 For behold, the Lord God has led away from time to time from
the house of Israel, according to his will and pleasure. And now
behold, the Lord remembereth all them who have been broken off,
wherefore he remembereth us also.
2 Nephi 10:23
23 Therefore, cheer up your hearts, and remember that ye are
free to act for yourselves—to choose the way of everlasting
death or the way of eternal life.
2 Nephi 10:24
24 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, reconcile yourselves to the
will of God, and not to the will of the devil and the flesh; and
remember, after ye are reconciled unto God, that it is only in
and through the grace of God that ye are saved.
2 Nephi 10:25
25 Wherefore, may God raise you from death by the power of the
resurrection, and also from everlasting death by the power of the
atonement, that ye may be received into the eternal kingdom of
God, that ye may praise him through grace divine. Amen.
2 Nephi 11 Chapter 11
2 Nephi 11:1
1 And now, Jacob spake many more things to my people at that
time; nevertheless only these things have I caused to be written,
for the things which I have written sufficeth me.
2 Nephi 11:2
2 And now I, Nephi, write more of the words of Isaiah, for my
soul delighteth in his words. For I will liken his words unto my
people, and I will send them forth unto all my children, for he
verily saw my Redeemer, even as I have seen him.
2 Nephi 11:3
3 And my brother, Jacob, also has seen him as I have seen him;
wherefore, I will send their words forth unto my children to
prove unto them that my words are true. Wherefore, by the words
of three, God hath said, I will establish my word. Nevertheless,
God sendeth more witnesses, and he proveth all his words.
2 Nephi 11:4
4 Behold, my soul delighteth in proving unto my people the truth
of the coming of Christ; for, for this end hath the law of Moses
been given; and all things which have been given of God from the
beginning of the world, unto man, are the typifying of him.
2 Nephi 11:5
5 And also my soul delighteth in the covenants of the Lord which
he hath made to our fathers; yea, my soul delighteth in his
grace, and in his justice, and power, and mercy in the great and
eternal plan of deliverance from death.
2 Nephi 11:6
6 And my soul delighteth in proving unto my people that save
Christ should come all men must perish.
2 Nephi 11:7
7 For if there be no Christ there be no God; and if there be no
God we are not, for there could have been no creation. But there
is a God, and he is Christ, and he cometh in the fulness of his
own time.
2 Nephi 11:8
8 And now I write some of the words of Isaiah, that whoso of my
people shall see these words may lift up their hearts and rejoice
for all men. Now these are the words, and ye may liken them unto
you and unto all men.
2 Nephi 12 Chapter 12
2 Nephi 12:1
1 The word that Isaiah, the son of Amoz, saw concerning Judah
and Jerusalem:
2 Nephi 12:2
2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, when the mountain
of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the
mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills, and all nations
shall flow unto it.
2 Nephi 12:3
3 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to
the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and
he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths; for
out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from
Jerusalem.
2 Nephi 12:4
4 And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many
people: and they shall beat their swords into plow-shares, and
their spears into pruning-hooks—nation shall not lift up sword
against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
2 Nephi 12:5
5 O house of Jacob, come ye and let us walk in the light of the
Lord; yea, come, for ye have all gone astray, every one to his
wicked ways.
2 Nephi 12:6
6 Therefore, O Lord, thou hast forsaken thy people, the house of
Jacob, because they be replenished from the east, and hearken
unto soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves
in the children of strangers.
2 Nephi 12:7
7 Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there
any end of their treasures; their land is also full of horses,
neither is there any end of their chariots.
2 Nephi 12:8
8 Their land is also full of idols; they worship the work of
their own hands, that which their own fingers have made.
2 Nephi 12:9
9 And the mean man boweth not down, and the great man humbleth
himself not, therefore, forgive him not.
2 Nephi 12:10
10 O ye wicked ones, enter into the rock, and hide thee in the
dust, for the fear of the Lord and the glory of his majesty shall
smite thee.
2 Nephi 12:11
11 And it shall come to pass that the lofty looks of man shall
