Therefore, O Lord, Thou hast Therefore hast Thou forsaken forsaken Thy people, the house Thy people, the house of Jacob, of Jacob, because they replenished because they replenished from the from the east, and east, and _are_ soothsayers like unto hearken unto soothsayers like the the Philistines, and they please the Philistines, and they please themselves with the children of themselves with the children of strangers.--_Isaiah 11_, 6. strangers.--_II Nephi xii_, 6. Their land is also full of Their land also is full of idols; idols--they worship the work of their they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own own hands, that which their own fingers have made; and the mean fingers have made; and the mean man boweth not down, and the man boweth down, and the great great man humbleth himself not, man humbleth himself; therefore therefore, forgive him forgive him not.--_Isaiah ii_, 8, 9. not.--_II Nephi xii_, 8, 9. Thou hast multiplied the nation, Thou hast multiplied the nation, and increased the joy: they and not increased the joy: joy before thee according to the the joy before thee according to the joy in harvest, and as men rejoice the joy in harvest, and as men when they divide the spoil.--_II Nephi rejoice when they divide the xix_, 3. spoil.--_Isaiah ix_, 3. Observe, too, the difference in the clearness of the following passages: BOOK OF MORMON. BIBLE. And when they shall say unto And when they shall say unto you, seek unto them them that have you, seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep and mutter; should that peep and that mutter; should not a people seek unto their God? not a people seek unto their God? for the living to hear from the for the living to the dead.--_Isaiah _II Nephi xviii_, 19. viii_, 19. Again the English translators of the Bible, in order to make the sense of various passages more clear, inserted here and there, words of their own; which are always written in _italics_, that the reader might know what words have been inserted by the translator, and for which he will find no exact equivalent in the original text. It is worthy of note that in those transcribed passages from the brass plates into the Book of Mormon, in almost every instance, the words in the Book of Mormon version are different to those substituted by the translators of the common English version; or are left out, as follows: BOOK OF MORMON. BIBLE.
