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 those who were at

       Jerusalem, from whence we came, have been slain and carried away

       captive.

      2 Nephi 6:9

       9 Nevertheless, the Lord has shown unto me that they should

       return again. And he also has shown unto me that the Lord God,

       the Holy One of Israel, should manifest himself unto them in the

       flesh; and after he should manifest himself they should scourge

       him and crucify him, according to the words of the angel who

       spake it unto me.

      2 Nephi 6:10

       10 And after they have hardened their hearts and stiffened their

       necks against the Holy One of Israel, behold the judgments of the

       Holy One of Israel shall come upon them. And the day cometh that

       they shall be smitten and afflicted.

      2 Nephi 6:11

       11 Wherefore, after they are driven to and fro, for thus saith

       the angel, many shall be afflicted in the flesh, and shall not be

       suffered to perish, because of the prayers of the faithful; they

       shall be scattered, and smitten, and hated; nevertheless, the

       Lord will be merciful unto them, that when they shall come to the

       knowledge of their Redeemer, they shall be gathered together

       again to the lands of their inheritance.

      2 Nephi 6:12

       12 And blessed are the Gentiles, they of whom the prophet has

       written; for behold, if it so be that they shall repent and fight

       not against Zion, and do not unite themselves to that great and

       abominable church, they shall be saved; for the Lord God will

       fulfil his covenants which he has made unto his children; and for

       this cause the prophet has written these things.

      2 Nephi 6:13

       13 Wherefore, they that fight against Zion and the covenant

       people of the Lord shall lick up the dust of their feet; and the

       people of the Lord shall not be ashamed. For the people of the

       Lord are they who wait for him; for they still wait for the

       coming of the Messiah.

      2 Nephi 6:14

       14 And behold, according to the words of the prophet, the

       Messiah will set himself again the second time to recover them;

       wherefore, he will manifest himself unto them in power and great

       glory, unto the destruction of their enemies, when that day
