plan of the evil one! O the vainness, and the

       frailties, and the foolishness of men! When they are learned

       they think they are wise, and they hearken not unto the counsel

       of God, for they set it aside, supposing they know of themselves,

       wherefore, their wisdom is foolishness and it profiteth them not.

      And they shall perish.

      2 Nephi 9:29

       29 But to be learned is good if they hearken unto the counsels

       of God.

      2 Nephi 9:30

       30 But wo unto the rich, who are rich as to the things of the

       world. For because they are rich they despise the poor, and they

       persecute the meek, and their hearts are upon their treasures;

       wherefore, their treasure is their God. And behold, their

       treasure shall perish with them also.

      2 Nephi 9:31

       31 And wo unto the deaf that will not hear; for they shall

       perish.

      2 Nephi 9:32

       32 Wo unto the blind that will not see; for they shall perish

       also.

      2 Nephi 9:33

       33 Wo unto the uncircumcised of heart, for a knowledge of their

       iniquities shall smite them at the last day.

      2 Nephi 9:34

       34 Wo unto the liar, for he shall be thrust down to hell.

      2 Nephi 9:35

       35 Wo unto the murderer who deliberately killeth, for he shall

       die.

      2 Nephi 9:36

       36 Wo unto them who commit whoredoms, for they shall be thrust

       down to hell.

      2 Nephi 9:37

       37 Yea, wo unto those that worship idols, for the devil of all

       devils delighteth in them.

      2 Nephi 9:38

       38 And, in fine, wo unto all those who die in their sins; for

       they shall return to God, and behold his face, and remain in

       their sins.

      2 Nephi 9:39

       39 O, my beloved brethren, remember the awfulness in

       transgressing against that Holy God, and also the awfulness of

       yielding to the enticings of that cunning one. Remember, to be

       carnally-minded is death, and to be spiritually-minded is life

       eternal.

      2 Nephi 9:40

       40 O, my beloved brethren, give ear to my words. Remember the

       greatness of the Holy One of Israel. Do not say that I have

       spoken hard things against you; for if ye do, ye will revile

       against the truth; for I have spoken the words of your Maker. I

       know that the words of truth are hard against all uncleanness;

       but the righteous fear them not, for they love the truth and are

       not shaken.

      2 Nephi 9:41

       41 O then, my beloved brethren, come unto the Lord, the Holy

       One. Remember that his paths are righteous. Behold, the way for

       man is narrow, but it lieth in a straight course before him, and

       the keeper of the gate is the Holy One of Israel; and he

       employeth no servant there; and there is none other way save it

       be by the gate; for he cannot be deceived, for the Lord God is

       his name.

      2 Nephi 9:42

       42 And whoso knocketh, to him will he open; and the wise, and

       the learned, and they that are rich, who are puffed up because of

       their learning, and their wisdom, and their riches—yea, they are

       they whom he despiseth; and save they shall cast these things

       away, and consider themselves fools before God, and come down in

       the depths of humility, he will not open unto them.

      2 Nephi 9:43

       43 But the things of the wise and the prudent shall be hid from

       them forever—yea, that happiness which is prepared for the

       saints.

      2 Nephi 9:44

       44 O, my beloved brethren, remember my words. Behold, I take

       off my garments, and I shake them before you; I pray the God of

       my salvation that he view me with his all-searching eye;

       wherefore, ye shall know at the last day, when all men shall be

       judged of their works, that the God of Israel did witness that I

       shook your iniquities from my soul, and that I stand with

       brightness before him, and am rid of your blood.

      2 Nephi 9:45

       45 O, my beloved brethren, turn away from your sins; shake off

       the chains of him that would bind you fast; come unto that God

       who is the rock of your salvation.

      2 Nephi 9:46

       46 Prepare your souls for that glorious day when justice shall

       be administered unto the righteous, even the day of judgment,

       that ye may not shrink with awful fear; that ye may not remember

       your awful guilt in perfectness, and be constrained to exclaim:

       Holy, holy are thy judgments, O Lord God Almighty—but I know my

       guilt; I transgressed thy law, and my transgressions are mine;

       and the devil hath obtained me, that I am a prey to his awful

       misery.

      2 Nephi 9:47

       47 But behold, my brethren, is it expedient that I should awake

       you to an awful reality of these things? Would I harrow up your

       souls if your minds were pure? Would I be plain unto you

       according to the plainness of the truth if ye were freed from

       sin?

      2 Nephi 9:48

       48 Behold, if ye were holy I would speak unto you of holiness;

       but as ye are not holy, and ye look upon me as a teacher, it must

       needs be expedient that I teach you the consequences of sin.

      2 Nephi 9:49

       49 Behold, my soul abhorreth sin, and my heart delighteth in

       righteousness; and I will praise the holy name of my God.

      2 Nephi 9:50

       50 Come, my brethren, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the

       waters; and he that hath no money, come buy and eat; yea, come

       buy wine and milk without money and without price.

      2 Nephi 9:51

       51 Wherefore, do not spend money for that which is of no worth,

       nor your labor for that which cannot satisfy. Hearken diligently
