him that is just shall rest upon them.

      2 Nephi 1:11

       11 Yea, he will bring other nations unto them, and he will give

       unto them power, and he will take away from them the lands of

       their possessions, and he will cause them to be scattered and

       smitten.

      2 Nephi 1:12

       12 Yea, as one generation passeth to another there shall be

       bloodsheds, and great visitations among them; wherefore, my sons,

       I would that ye would remember; yea, I would that ye would

       hearken unto my words.

      2 Nephi 1:13

       13 O that ye would awake; awake from a deep sleep, yea, even

       from the sleep of hell, and shake off the awful chains by which

       ye are bound, which are the chains which bind the children of

       men, that they are carried away captive down to the eternal gulf

       of misery and woe.

      2 Nephi 1:14

       14 Awake! and arise from the dust, and hear the words of a

       trembling parent, whose limbs ye must soon lay down in the cold

       and silent grave, from whence no traveler can return; a few more

       days and I go the way of all the earth.

      2 Nephi 1:15

       15 But behold, the Lord hath redeemed my soul from hell; I have

       beheld his glory, and I am encircled about eternally in the arms

       of his love.

      2 Nephi 1:16

       16 And I desire that ye should remember to observe the statutes

       and the judgments of the Lord; behold, this hath been the anxiety

       of my soul from the beginning.

      2 Nephi 1:17

       17 My heart hath been weighed down with sorrow from time to

       time, for I have feared, lest for the hardness of your hearts the

       Lord your God should come out in the fulness of his wrath upon

       you, that ye be cut off and destroyed forever;

      2 Nephi 1:18

       18 Or, that a cursing should come upon you for the space of many

       generations; and ye are visited by sword, and by famine, and are

       hated, and are led according to the will and captivity of the

       devil.

      2 Nephi 1:19

       19 O my sons, that these things might not come upon you, but

       that ye might be a choice and a favored people of the Lord. But

       behold, his will be done; for his ways are righteousness forever.

      2 Nephi 1:20

       20 And he hath said that: Inasmuch as ye shall keep my

       commandments ye shall prosper in the land; but inasmuch as ye

       will not keep my commandments ye shall be cut off from my

       presence.

      2 Nephi 1:21

       21 And now that my soul might have joy in you, and that my heart

       might leave this world with gladness because of you, that I might

       not be brought down with grief and sorrow to the grave, arise

       from the dust, my sons, and be men, and be determined in one mind

       and in one heart, united in all things, that ye may not come down

       into captivity;

      2 Nephi 1:22

       22 That ye may not be cursed with a sore cursing; and also, that

       ye may not incur the displeasure of a just God upon you, unto the

       destruction, yea, the eternal destruction of both soul and body.

      2 Nephi 1:23

       23 Awake, my sons; put on the armor of righteousness. Shake off

       the chains with which ye are bound, and come forth out of

       obscurity, and arise from the dust.

      2 Nephi 1:24

       24 Rebel no more against your brother, whose views have been

       glorious, and who hath kept the commandments from the time that

       we left Jerusalem; and who hath been an instrument in the hands

       of God, in bringing us forth into the land of promise; for were

       it not for him, we must have perished with hunger in the

       wilderness; nevertheless, ye sought to take away his life; yea,

       and he hath suffered much sorrow because of you.

      2 Nephi 1:25

       25 And I exceedingly fear and tremble because of you, lest he

       shall suffer again; for behold, ye have accused him that he

       sought power and authority over you; but I know that he hath not

       sought for power nor authority over you, but he hath sought the

       glory of God, and your own eternal welfare.

      2 Nephi 1:26

       26 And ye have murmured because he hath been plain unto you. Ye

       say that he hath used sharpness; ye say that he hath been angry

       with you; but behold, his sharpness was the sharpness of the

       power of the word of God, which was in him; and that which ye

       call anger was the truth, according to that which is in God,

       which he could not restrain, manifesting boldly concerning your

       iniquities.

      2 Nephi 1:27

       27 And it must needs be that the power of God must be with him,

       even unto his commanding you that ye must obey. But behold, it

       was not he, but it was the Spirit of the Lord which was in him,

       which opened his mouth to utterance that he could not shut it.

      2 Nephi 1:28

       28 And now my son, Laman, and also Lemuel and Sam, and also my

       sons who are the sons of Ishmael, behold, if ye will hearken unto

       the voice of Nephi ye shall not perish. And if ye will hearken

       unto him I leave unto you a blessing, yea, even my first

       blessing.

      2 Nephi 1:29

       29 But if ye will not hearken unto him I take away my first

       blessing, yea, even my blessing, and it shall rest upon him.

      2 Nephi 1:30

       30 And now Zoram, I speak unto you: Behold, thou art the servant

       of Laban; nevertheless, thou hast been brought out of the land of

       Jerusalem, and I know that thou art a true friend unto my son,

       Nephi, forever.

      2 Nephi 1:31

       31 Wherefore, because thou hast been faithful thy seed shall be

       blessed with his seed, that they dwell in prosperity long upon

       the face of this land; and nothing, save it shall be iniquity

       among them, shall harm or disturb their prosperity
