the God of

       my salvation that he view me with his all-searching eye;

       wherefore, ye shall know at the last day, when all men shall be

       judged of their works, that the God of Israel did witness that I

       shook your iniquities from my soul, and that I stand with

       brightness before him, and am rid of your blood.

      2 Nephi 9:45

       45 O, my beloved brethren, turn away from your sins; shake off

       the chains of him that would bind you fast; come unto that God

       who is the rock of your salvation.

      2 Nephi 9:46

       46 Prepare your souls for that glorious day when justice shall

       be administered unto the righteous, even the day of judgment,

       that ye may not shrink with awful fear; that ye may not remember

       your awful guilt in perfectness, and be constrained to exclaim:

       Holy, holy are thy judgments, O Lord God Almighty—but I know my

       guilt; I transgressed thy law, and my transgressions are mine;

       and the devil hath obtained me, that I am a prey to his awful

       misery.

      2 Nephi 9:47

       47 But behold, my brethren, is it expedient that I should awake

       you to an awful reality of these things? Would I harrow up your

       souls if your minds were pure? Would I be plain unto you

       according to the plainness of the truth if ye were freed from

       sin?

      2 Nephi 9:48

       48 Behold, if ye were holy I would speak unto you of holiness;

       but as ye are not holy, and ye look upon me as a teacher, it must

       needs be expedient that I teach you the consequences of sin.

      2 Nephi 9:49

       49 Behold, my soul abhorreth sin, and my heart delighteth in

       righteousness; and I will praise the holy name of my God.

      2 Nephi 9:50

       50 Come, my brethren, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the

       waters; and he that hath no money, come buy and eat; yea, come

       buy wine and milk without money and without price.

      2 Nephi 9:51

       51 Wherefore, do not spend money for that which is of no worth,

       nor your labor for that which cannot satisfy. Hearken diligently

       unto me, and remember the words which I have spoken; and come

       unto the Holy One of Israel, and feast upon that which perisheth

       not, neither can be corrupted, and let your soul delight in

       fatness.

      2 Nephi 9:52

       52 Behold, my beloved brethren, remember the words of your God;

       pray unto him continually by day, and give thanks unto his holy

       name by night. Let your hearts rejoice.

      2 Nephi 9:53

       53 And behold how great the covenants of the Lord, and how great

       his condescensions unto the children of men; and because of his

       greatness, and his grace and mercy, he has promised unto us that

       our seed shall not utterly be destroyed, according to the flesh,

       but that he would preserve them; and in future generations they

       shall become a righteous branch unto the house of Israel.

      2 Nephi 9:54

       54 And now, my brethren, I would speak unto you more; but on the

       morrow I will declare unto you the remainder of my words. Amen.

      2 Nephi 10 Chapter 10

      2 Nephi 10:1

       1 And now I, Jacob, speak unto you again, my beloved brethren,

       concerning this righteous branch of which I have spoken.

      2 Nephi 10:2

       2 For behold, the promises which we have obtained are promises

       unto us according to the flesh; wherefore, as it has been shown

       unto me that many of our children shall perish in the flesh

       because of unbelief, nevertheless, God will be merciful unto

       many; and our children shall be restored, that they may come to

       that which will give them the true knowledge of their Redeemer.

      2 Nephi 10:3

       3 Wherefore, as I said unto you, it must needs be expedient that

       Christ—for in the last night the angel spake unto me that this

       should be his name—should come among the Jews, among those who

       are the more wicked part of the world; and they shall crucify

       him—for thus it behooveth our God, and there is none other

       nation on earth that would crucify their God.

      2 Nephi 10:4

       4 For should the mighty miracles be wrought among other nations

       they would repent, and know that he be their God.

      2 Nephi 10:5

       5 But because of priestcrafts and iniquities, they at Jerusalem

       will stiffen their necks against him, that he be crucified.

      2 Nephi 10:6

       6 Wherefore, because of their iniquities, destructions, famines,

       pestilences, and bloodshed shall come upon them; and they who

       shall not be destroyed shall be scattered among all nations.

      2 Nephi 10:7

       7 But behold, thus saith the Lord God: When the day cometh that

       they shall believe in me, that I am Christ, then have I

       covenanted with their fathers that they shall be restored in the

       flesh, upon the earth, unto the lands of their inheritance.

      2 Nephi 10:8

       8 And it shall come to pass that they shall be gathered in from

       their long dispersion, from the isles of the sea, and from the

       four parts of the earth; and the nations of the Gentiles shall be

       great in the eyes of me, saith God, in carrying them forth to the

       lands of their inheritance.

      2 Nephi 10:9

       9 Yea, the kings of the Gentiles shall be nursing fathers unto

       them, and their queens shall become nursing mothers; wherefore,

       the promises of the Lord are great unto the Gentiles, for he hath

       spoken it, and who can dispute?

      2 Nephi 10:10

       10 But behold, this land, said God, shall be a land of thine

       inheritance, and the Gentiles shall be blessed upon the land.

      2 Nephi 10:11

       11 And this land shall be a land of liberty unto the Gentiles,

       and there shall be no kings upon the land, who shall raise up

       unto the Gentiles.
