       nevertheless, I did for them according to that which was in my

       power.

      2 Nephi 5:19

       19 And behold, the words of the Lord had been fulfilled unto my

       brethren, which he spake concerning them, that I should be their

       ruler and their teacher. Wherefore, I had been their ruler and

       their teacher, according to the commandments of the Lord, until

       the time they sought to take away my life.

      2 Nephi 5:20

       20 Wherefore, the word of the Lord was fulfilled which he spake

       unto me, saying that: Inasmuch as they will not hearken unto thy

       words they shall be cut off from the presence of the Lord. And

       behold, they were cut off from his presence.

      2 Nephi 5:21

       21 And he had caused the cursing to come upon them, yea, even a

       sore cursing, because of their iniquity. For behold, they had

       hardened their hearts against him, that they had become like unto

       a flint; wherefore, as they were white, and exceedingly fair and

       delightsome, that they might not be enticing unto my people the

       Lord God did cause a skin of blackness to come upon them.

      2 Nephi 5:22

       22 And thus saith the Lord God: I will cause that they shall be

       loathsome unto thy people, save they shall repent of their

       iniquities.

      2 Nephi 5:23

       23 And cursed shall be the seed of him that mixeth with their

       seed; for they shall be cursed even with the same cursing. And

       the Lord spake it, and it was done.

      2 Nephi 5:24

       24 And because of their cursing which was upon them they did

       become an idle people, full of mischief and subtlety, and did

       seek in the wilderness for beasts of prey.

      2 Nephi 5:25

       25 And the Lord God said unto me: They shall be a scourge unto

       thy seed, to stir them up in remembrance of me; and inasmuch as

       they will not remember me, and hearken unto my words, they shall

       scourge them even unto destruction.

      2 Nephi 5:26

       26 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, did consecrate Jacob and

       Joseph, that they should be priests and teachers over the land of

       my people.

      2 Nephi 5:27

       27 And it came to pass that we lived after the manner of

       happiness.

      2 Nephi 5:28

       28 And thirty years had passed away from the time we left

       Jerusalem.

      2 Nephi 5:29

       29 And I, Nephi, had kept the records upon my plates, which I

       had made, of my people thus far.

      2 Nephi 5:30

       30 And it came to pass that the Lord God said unto me: Make

       other plates; and thou shalt engraven many things upon them which

       are good in my sight, for the profit of thy people.

      2 Nephi 5:31

       31 Wherefore, I, Nephi, to be obedient to the commandments of

       the Lord, went and made these plates upon which I have engraven

       these things.

      2 Nephi 5:32

       32 And I engraved that which is pleasing unto God. And if my

       people are pleased with the things of God they will be pleased

       with mine engravings which are upon these plates.

      2 Nephi 5:33

       33 And if my people desire to know the more particular part of

       the history of my people they must search mine other plates.

      2 Nephi 5:34

       34 And it sufficeth me to say that forty years had passed away,

       and we had already had wars and contentions with our brethren.

      2 Nephi 6 Chapter 6

      2 Nephi 6:1

       1 The words of Jacob, the brother of Nephi, which he spake unto

       the people of Nephi:

      2 Nephi 6:2

       2 Behold, my beloved brethren, I, Jacob, having been called of

       God, and ordained after the manner of his holy order, and having

       been consecrated by my brother Nephi, unto whom ye look as a king

       or a protector, and on whom ye depend for safety, behold ye know

       that I have spoken unto you exceedingly many things.

      2 Nephi 6:3

       3 Nevertheless, I speak unto you again; for I am desirous for

       the welfare of your souls. Yea, mine anxiety is great for you;

       and ye yourselves know that it ever has been. For I have

       exhorted you with all diligence; and I have taught you the words

       of my father; and I have spoken unto you concerning all things

       which are written, from the creation of the world.

      2 Nephi 6:4

       4 And now, behold, I would speak unto you concerning things

       which are, and which are to come; wherefore, I will read you the

       words of Isaiah. And they are the words which my brother has

       desired that I should speak unto you. And I speak unto you for

       your sakes, that ye may learn and glorify the name of your God.

      2 Nephi 6:5

       5 And now, the words which I shall read are they which Isaiah

       spake concerning all the house of Israel; wherefore, they may be

       likened unto you, for ye are of the house of Israel. And there

       are many things which have been spoken by Isaiah which may be

       likened unto you, because ye are of the house of Israel.

      2 Nephi 6:6

       6 And now these are the words: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold,

       I will lift up mine hand to the Gentiles, and set up my standard

       to the people; and they shall bring thy sons in their arms, and

       thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders.

      2 Nephi 6:7

       7 And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy

       nursing mothers; they shall bow down to thee with their faces

       towards the earth, and lick up the dust of thy feet; and thou

       shalt know that I am the Lord; for they shall not be ashamed that

       wait for me.

      2 Nephi 6:8

       8 And now I, Jacob, would speak somewhat concerning these words.

       For behold, the Lord has shown me that
