Nephi 25:1

       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.

      2 Nephi 25:2

       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.

      2 Nephi 25:3

       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.

      2 Nephi 25:4

       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.

      2 Nephi 25:5

       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.

      2 Nephi 25:6

       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.

      2 Nephi 25:7

       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.

      2 Nephi 25:8

       8 Wherefore, they are of worth unto the children of men, and he

       that supposeth that they are not, unto them will I speak

       particularly, and confine the words unto mine own people; for I

       know that they shall be of great worth unto them in the last

       days; for in that day shall they understand them; wherefore, for

       their good have I written them.

      2 Nephi 25:9

       9 And as one generation hath been destroyed among the Jews

       because of iniquity, even so have they been destroyed from

       generation to generation according to their iniquities; and never

       hath any of them been destroyed save it were foretold them by the

       prophets of the Lord.

      2 Nephi 25:10

       10 Wherefore, it hath been told them concerning the destruction

       which should come upon them, immediately after my father left

       Jerusalem; nevertheless, they hardened their hearts; and

       according to my prophecy they have been destroyed, save it be

       those which are carried away captive into Babylon.

      2 Nephi 25:11

       11 And now this I speak because of the spirit which is in me.

       And notwithstanding they have been carried away they shall return

       again, and possess the land of Jerusalem; wherefore, they shall

       be restored again to the land of their inheritance.

      2 Nephi 25:12

       12 But, behold, they shall have wars, and rumors of wars; and

       when the day cometh that the Only Begotten of the Father, yea,

       even the Father of heaven and of earth, shall manifest himself

       unto them in the flesh, behold, they will reject him, because of

       their iniquities, and the hardness of their hearts, and the

       stiffness of their necks.

      2 Nephi 25:13

       13 Behold, they will crucify him; and after he is laid in a

       sepulchre for the space of three days he shall rise from the

       dead, with healing in his wings; and all those who shall believe

       on his name shall be saved in the kingdom of God. Wherefore, my

       soul delighteth to prophesy concerning him, for I have seen his

       day, and my heart doth magnify his holy name.

      2 Nephi 25:14

       14 And behold it shall come to pass that after the Messiah hath

       risen from the dead, and hath manifested himself unto his people,

       unto as many as will believe on his name, behold, Jerusalem shall

       be destroyed again; for wo unto them that fight against God and

       the people of his church.

      2 Nephi 25:15

       15 Wherefore, the Jews shall be scattered among all nations;

       yea, and also Babylon shall be destroyed; wherefore, the Jews

       shall be scattered by other nations.

      2 Nephi 25:16

       16 And after they have been scattered, and the Lord God hath

       scourged them by other nations for the space of many generations,

       yea, even down from generation to generation until they shall be

       persuaded to believe in Christ, the Son of God, and the

       atonement, which is infinite for all mankind—and when that day

       shall come that they shall believe in Christ, and worship the

       Father in his name, with pure hearts and clean hands, and look

       not forward any more for another Messiah, then, at that time, the

       day will come that it must needs be expedient that they should

       believe these things.

      2 Nephi 25:17
