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 fulfill his word which he hath declared by them; and he will do
his pleasure on Babylon, and his arm shall come upon the Chaldeans.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
20:22 And notwithstanding he hath done all this, and greater also,
there is no peace, saith the Lord, unto the wicked.
1 Nephi Chapter 21
21:1 And again: Hearken, O ye house of Israel, all ye that are broken
off and are driven out because of the wickedness of the pastors of my
people; yea, all ye that are broken off, that are scattered abroad, who
are of my people, O house of Israel. Listen, O isles, unto me, and
hearken ye people from far; the Lord hath called me from the womb; from
the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name.
21:2 And he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his
hand hath he hid me, and made me a polished shaft; in his quiver hath
he hid me;
21:3 And said unto me: Thou art my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be
glorified.
21:4 Then I said, I have labored in vain, I have spent my strength for
naught and in vain; surely my judgment is with the Lord, and my work
with my God.
21:5 And now, saith the Lord—that formed me from the womb that I should
be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him—though Israel be not
gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the Lord, and my God
shall be my strength.
21:6 And he said: It is a light thing that thou shouldst be my servant
to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of
Israel. I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou
mayest be my salvation unto the ends of the earth.
