18:18 Behold, I and the children whom the Lord hath given me are for
signs and for wonders in Israel from the Lord of Hosts, which dwelleth
in Mount Zion.
18:19 And when they shall say unto you: Seek unto them that have
familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep and mutter—should not a
people seek unto their God for the living to hear from the dead?
18:20 To the law and to the testimony; and if they speak not according
to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
18:21 And they shall pass through it hardly bestead and hungry; and it
shall come to pass that when they shall be hungry, they shall fret
themselves, and curse their king and their God, and look upward.
18:22 And they shall look unto the earth and behold trouble, and
darkness, dimness of anguish, and shall be driven to darkness.
2 Nephi Chapter 19
19:1 Nevertheless, the dimness shall not be such as was in her
vexation, when at first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun, and
the land of Naphtali, and afterwards did more grievously afflict by the
way of the Red Sea beyond Jordan in Galilee of the nations.
19:2 The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light; they
that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light
shined.
19:3 Thou hast multiplied the nation, and increased the joy—they joy
before thee according to the joy in harvest, and as men rejoice when
they divide the spoil.
19:4 For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his
shoulder, the rod of his oppressor.
19:5 For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and
garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of
fire.
19:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the
government shall be upon his shoulder; and his name shall be called,
Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The
Prince of Peace.
19:7 Of the increase of government and peace there is no end, upon the
throne of David, and upon his kingdom to order it, and to establish it
with judgment and with justice from henceforth, even forever. The zeal
of the Lord of Hosts will perform this.
19:8 The Lord sent his word unto Jacob and it hath lighted upon Israel.
19:9 And all the people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitants of
Samaria, that say in the pride and stoutness of heart:
19:10 The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones;
the sycamores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars.
19:11 Therefore the Lord shall set up the adversaries of Rezin against
him, and join his enemies together;
19:12 The Syrians before and the Philistines behind; and they shall
devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned
away, but his hand is stretched out still.
19:13 For the people turneth not unto him that smiteth them, neither do
they seek the Lord of Hosts.
19:14 Therefore will the Lord cut off from Israel head and tail, branch
and rush in one day.
