6:12 And blessed are the Gentiles, they of whom the prophet has
written; for behold, if it so be that they shall repent and fight not
against Zion, and do not unite themselves to that great and abominable
church, they shall be saved; for the Lord God will fulfil his covenants
which he has made unto his children; and for this cause the prophet has
written these things.
6:13 Wherefore, they that fight against Zion and the covenant people of
the Lord shall lick up the dust of their feet; and the people of the
Lord shall not be ashamed. For the people of the Lord are they who wait
for him; for they still wait for the coming of the Messiah.
6:14 And behold, according to the words of the prophet, the Messiah
will set himself again the second time to recover them; wherefore, he
will manifest himself unto them in power and great glory, unto the
destruction of their enemies, when that day cometh when they shall
believe in him; and none will he destroy that believe in him.
6:15 And they that believe not in him shall be destroyed, both by fire,
and by tempest, and by earthquakes, and by bloodsheds, and by
pestilence, and by famine. And they shall know that the Lord is God,
the Holy One of Israel.
6:16 For shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive
delivered?
6:17 But thus saith the Lord: Even the captives of the mighty shall be
taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered; for the
Mighty God shall deliver his covenant people. For thus saith the Lord:
I will contend with them that contendeth with thee—
6:18 And I will feed them that oppress thee, with their own flesh; and
they shall be drunken with their own blood as with sweet wine; and all
flesh shall know that I the Lord am thy Savior and thy Redeemer, the
Mighty One of Jacob.
2 Nephi Chapter 7
7:1 Yea, for thus saith the Lord: Have I put thee away, or have I cast
thee off forever? For thus saith the Lord: Where is the bill of your
mother’s divorcement? To whom have I put thee away, or to which of my
creditors have I sold you? Yea, to whom have I sold you? Behold, for
your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is
your mother put away.
7:2 Wherefore, when I came, there was no man; when I called, yea, there
was none to answer. O house of Israel, is my hand shortened at all that
it cannot redeem, or have I no power to deliver? Behold, at my rebuke I
dry up the sea, I make their rivers a wilderness and their fish to
stink because the waters are dried up, and they die because of thirst.
7:3 I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their
covering.
7:4 The Lord God hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should
know how to speak a word in season unto thee, O house of Israel. When
ye are weary he waketh morning by morning. He waketh mine ear to hear
as the learned.
7:5 The Lord God hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious,
neither turned away back.
