      2 Nephi 8 Chapter 8

      2 Nephi 8:1

       1 Hearken unto me, ye that follow after righteousness. Look

       unto the rock from whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit

       from whence ye are digged.

      2 Nephi 8:2

       2 Look unto Abraham, your father, and unto Sarah, she that bare

       you; for I called him alone, and blessed him.

      2 Nephi 8:3

       3 For the Lord shall comfort Zion, he will comfort all her waste

       places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert

       like the garden of the Lord. Joy and gladness shall be found

       therein, thanksgiving and the voice of melody.

      2 Nephi 8:4

       4 Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation;

       for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to

       rest for a light for the people.

      2 Nephi 8:5

       5 My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth, and mine

       arm shall judge the people. The isles shall wait upon me, and on

       mine arm shall they trust.

      2 Nephi 8:6

       6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth

       beneath; for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the

       earth shall wax old like a garment; and they that dwell therein

       shall die in like manner. But my salvation shall be forever, and

       my righteousness shall not be abolished.

      2 Nephi 8:7

       7 Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in

       whose heart I have written my law, fear ye not the reproach of

       men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings.

      2 Nephi 8:8

       8 For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm

       shall eat them like wool. But my righteousness shall be forever,

       and my salvation from generation to generation.

      2 Nephi 8:9

       9 Awake, awake! Put on strength, O arm of the Lord; awake as in

       the ancient days. Art thou not he that hath cut Rahab, and

       wounded the dragon?

      2 Nephi 8:10

       10 Art thou not he who hath dried the sea, the waters of the

       great deep; that hath made the depths of the sea a way for the

       ransomed to pass over?

      2 Nephi 8:11

       11 Therefore, the redeemed of the Lord shall return, and come

       with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy and holiness shall be

       upon their heads; and they shall obtain gladness and joy; sorrow

       and mourning shall flee away.

      2 Nephi 8:12

       12 I am he; yea, I am he that comforteth you. Behold, who art

       thou, that thou shouldst be afraid of man, who shall die, and of

       the son of man, who shall be made like unto grass?

      2 Nephi 8:13

       13 And forgettest the Lord thy maker, that hath stretched forth

       the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth, and hast

       feared continually every day, because of the fury of the

       oppressor, as if he were ready to destroy? And where is the fury

       of the oppressor?

      2 Nephi 8:14

       14 The captive exile hasteneth, that he may be loosed, and that

       he should not die in the pit, nor that his bread should fail.

      2 Nephi 8:15

       15 But I am the Lord thy God, whose waves roared; the Lord of

       Hosts is my name.

      2 Nephi 8:16

       16 And I have put my words in thy mouth, and have covered thee

       in the shadow of mine hand, that I may plant the heavens and lay

       the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion: Behold, thou art

       my people.

      2 Nephi 8:17

       17 Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, which hast drunk at the

       hand of the Lord the cup of his fury—thou hast drunken the dregs

       of the cup of trembling wrung out—

      2 Nephi 8:18

       18 And none to guide her among all the sons she hath brought

       forth; neither that taketh her by the hand, of all the sons she

       hath brought up.

      2 Nephi 8:19

       19 These two sons are come unto thee, who shall be sorry for

       thee—thy desolation and destruction, and the famine and the

       sword—and by whom shall I comfort thee?

      2 Nephi 8:20

       20 Thy sons have fainted, save these two; they lie at the head

       of all the streets; as a wild bull in a net, they are full of the

       fury of the Lord, the rebuke of thy God.

      2 Nephi 8:21

       21 Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken, and not

       with wine:

      2 Nephi 8:22

       22 Thus saith thy Lord, the Lord and thy God pleadeth the cause

       of his people; behold, I have taken out of thine hand the cup of

       trembling, the dregs of the cup of my fury; thou shalt no more

       drink it again.

      2 Nephi 8:23

       23 But I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee;

       who have said to thy soul: Bow down, that we may go over—and

       thou hast laid thy body as the ground and as the street to them

       that went over.

      2 Nephi 8:24

       24 Awake, awake, put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy

       beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city; for henceforth

       there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the

       unclean.

      2 Nephi 8:25

       25 Shake thyself from the dust; arise, sit down, O Jerusalem;

       loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of

       Zion.

      2 Nephi 9 Chapter 9

      2 Nephi 9:1

       1 And now, my beloved brethren, I have read these things that ye

       might know concerning the covenants of the Lord that he has

       covenanted with all the house of Israel—

      2 Nephi 9:2

       2 That he has spoken unto the Jews, by the mouth of his holy

       prophets, even from the beginning
