3:24 And there shall rise up one mighty among them, who shall do much
good, both in word and in deed, being an instrument in the hands of
God, with exceeding faith, to work mighty wonders, and do that thing
which is great in the sight of God, unto the bringing to pass much
restoration unto the house of Israel, and unto the seed of thy
brethren.
3:25 And now, blessed art thou, Joseph. Behold, thou art little;
wherefore hearken unto the words of thy brother, Nephi, and it shall be
done unto thee even according to the words which I have spoken.
Remember the words of thy dying father. Amen.
2 Nephi Chapter 4
4:1 And now, I, Nephi, speak concerning the prophecies of which my
father hath spoken, concerning Joseph, who was carried into Egypt.
4:2 For behold, he truly prophesied concerning all his seed. And the
prophecies which he wrote, there are not many greater. And he
prophesied concerning us, and our future generations; and they are
written upon the plates of brass.
4:3 Wherefore, after my father had made an end of speaking concerning
the prophecies of Joseph, he called the children of Laman, his sons,
and his daughters, and said unto them: Behold, my sons, and my
daughters, who are the sons and the daughters of my first-born, I would
that ye should give ear unto my words.
4:4 For the Lord God hath said that: Inasmuch as ye shall keep my
commandments ye shall prosper in the land; and inasmuch as ye will not
keep my commandments ye shall be cut off from my presence.
4:5 But behold, my sons and my daughters, I cannot go down to my grave
save I should leave a blessing upon you; for behold, I know that if ye
are brought up in the way ye should go ye will not depart from it.
4:6 Wherefore, if ye are cursed, behold, I leave my blessing upon you,
that the cursing may be taken from you and be answered upon the heads
of your parents.
4:7 Wherefore, because of my blessing the Lord God will not suffer that
ye shall perish; wherefore, he will be merciful unto you and unto your
seed forever.
4:8 And it came to pass that after my father had made an end of
speaking to the sons and daughters of Laman, he caused the sons and
daughters of Lemuel to be brought before him.
4:9 And he spake unto them, saying: Behold, my sons and my daughters,
who are the sons and the daughters of my second son; behold I leave
unto you the same blessing which I left unto the sons and daughters of
Laman; wherefore, thou shalt not utterly be destroyed; but in the end
thy seed shall be blessed.
4:10 And it came to pass that when my father had made an end of
speaking unto them, behold, he spake unto the sons of Ishmael, yea, and
even all his household.
