      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 down, from generation to

       generation, until the time comes that they shall be restored to

       the true church and fold of God; when they shall be gathered home

       to the lands of their inheritance, and shall be established in

       all their lands of promise.

      2 Nephi 9:3

       3 Behold, my beloved brethren, I speak unto you these things

       that ye may rejoice, and lift up your heads forever, because of

       the blessings which the Lord God shall bestow upon your children.

      2 Nephi 9:4

       4 For I know that ye have searched much, many of you, to know of

       things to come; wherefore I know that ye know that our flesh must

       waste away and die; nevertheless, in our bodies we shall see God.

      2 Nephi 9:5

       5 Yea, I know that ye know that in the body he shall show

       himself unto those at Jerusalem, from whence we came; for it is

       expedient that it should be among them; for it behooveth the

       great Creator that he suffereth himself to become subject unto

       man in the flesh, and die for all men, that all men might become

       subject unto him.

      2 Nephi 9:6

       6 For as death hath passed upon all men, to fulfil the merciful

       plan of the great Creator, there must needs be a power of

       resurrection, and the resurrection must needs come unto man by

       reason of the fall; and the fall came by reason of transgression;

       and because man became fallen they were cut off from the presence

       of the Lord.

      2 Nephi 9:7

       7 Wherefore, it must needs be an infinite atonement—save it

       should be an infinite atonement this corruption could not put on

       incorruption. Wherefore, the first judgment which came upon man

       must needs have remained to an endless duration. And if so, this

       flesh must have laid down to rot and to crumble to its mother

       earth, to rise no more.

      2 Nephi 9:8

       8 O the wisdom of God, his mercy and grace! For behold, if the

       flesh should rise no more our spirits must become subject to that

       angel who fell from before the presence of the Eternal God, and

       became the devil, to rise no more.

      2 Nephi 9:9

       9 And our spirits must have become like unto him, and we become
