24:29 Rejoice not thou, whole Palestina, because the rod of him that
smote thee is broken; for out of the serpent’s root shall come forth a
cockatrice, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent.
24:30 And the first-born of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall
lie down in safety; and I will kill thy root with famine, and he shall
slay thy remnant.
24:31 Howl, O gate; cry, O city; thou, whole Palestina, art dissolved;
for there shall come from the north a smoke, and none shall be alone in
his appointed times.
24:32 What shall then answer the messengers of the nations? That the
Lord hath founded Zion, and the poor of his people shall trust in it.
2 Nephi Chapter 25
25:1 Now I, Nephi, do speak somewhat concerning the words which I have
written, which have been spoken by the mouth of Isaiah. For behold,
Isaiah spake many things which were hard for many of my people to
understand; for they know not concerning the manner of prophesying
among the Jews.
25:2 For I, Nephi, have not taught them many things concerning the
manner of the Jews; for their works were works of darkness, and their
doings were doings of abominations.
25:3 Wherefore, I write unto my people, unto all those that shall
receive hereafter these things which I write, that they may know the
judgments of God, that they come upon all nations, according to the
word which he hath spoken.
25:4 Wherefore, hearken, O my people, which are of the house of Israel,
and give ear unto my words; for because the words of Isaiah are not
plain unto you, nevertheless they are plain unto all those that are
filled with the spirit of prophecy. But I give unto you a prophecy,
according to the spirit which is in me; wherefore I shall prophesy
according to the plainness which hath been with me from the time that I
came out from Jerusalem with my father; for behold, my soul delighteth
in plainness unto my people, that they may learn.
25:5 Yea, and my soul delighteth in the words of Isaiah, for I came out
from Jerusalem, and mine eyes hath beheld the things of the Jews, and I
know that the Jews do understand the things of the prophets, and there
is none other people that understand the things which were spoken unto
the Jews like unto them, save it be that they are taught after the
manner of the things of the Jews.
25:6 But behold, I, Nephi, have not taught my children after the manner
of the Jews; but behold, I, of myself, have dwelt at Jerusalem,
wherefore I know concerning the regions round about; and I have made
mention unto my children concerning the judgments of God, which hath
come to pass among the Jews, unto my children, according to all that
which Isaiah hath spoken, and I do not write them.
25:7 But behold, I proceed with mine own prophecy, according to my
plainness; in the which I know that no man can err; nevertheless, in
the days that the prophecies of Isaiah shall be fulfilled men shall
know of a surety, at the times when they shall come to pass.
