I will lso give thee for light to the Gentiles, tht thou myest e my slvtion unto the ens of the erth. 7 Thus sith the Lor, the Reeemer of Isrel, his Holy One, to him whom mn espiseth, to him whom the ntion horreth, to servnt of rulers: Kings shll see n rise, prines lso shll worship, euse of the Lor tht is fithful. [n the Holy One of Isrel, n he shll hoose thee] 8 Thus sith the Lor: In n eptle time hve I her thee, O isles of the se, n in y of slvtion hve I helpe thee; n I will preserve thee, n give thee my servnt for ovennt of the people,[14] to estlish the erth, to use to inherit the esolte heritges; 9 Tht thou myest sy to the prisoners: Go forth; to them tht sit in rkness: Show yourselves. They shll fee in the wys, n their pstures shll e in ll high ples.[15] 10 They shll not hunger nor thirst, neither shll the het nor the sun smite them; for he tht hth mery on them shll le them, even y the springs of wter shll he guie them. 11 n I will mke ll my mountins wy,[16] n my highwys shll e exlte. 12 n then, O house of Isrel, ehol, these shll ome from fr; n lo, these from the north n from the west; n these from the ln of Sinim. 13

7 1 Nephi E Sing, O hevens; n e joyful, O erth; for the feet of those who re in the est shll e estlishe; n rek forth into singing, O mountins; for they shll e smitten no more; F for the Lor hth omforte his people, n will hve mery upon his fflite. 14 G 1 ut, ehol, Zion hth si: The Lor hth forsken me, n my Lor hth forgotten me-- G 2 ut he will show tht he hth not. 15 G 1 For n womn forget her suking hil, tht she shoul not hve ompssion on the son of her wom? G 2 Ye, they my forget, yet will I not forget thee, O house of Isrel. 16 F ehol, I hve grven thee upon the plms of my hns;[17] thy wlls re ontinully efore me. 17 E Thy hilren shll mke hste ginst thy estroyers; n they tht me thee wste shll go forth of thee.[18] 18 Lift up thine eyes roun out n ehol; ll these gther themselves together, n they shll ome to thee. n s I live, sith the Lor, thou shlt surely lothe thee with them ll, s with n ornment, n in them on even s rie.[19] 19 For thy wste n thy esolte ples, n the ln of thy estrution, shll even now e too nrrow y reson of the inhitnts; n they tht swllowe thee up shll e fr wy. 20 The hilren whom thou shlt hve, fter thou hst lost the first, shll gin in thine ers sy: The ple is too strit for me; give ple to me tht I my well. 21 Then shlt thou sy in thine hert: Who hth egotten me these, seeing I hve lost my hilren, n m esolte, ptive, n removing to n fro? n who hth rought up these? ehol, I ws left lone; these, where hve they een?[20] 22

8 66 1 Nephi 21 Thus sith the Lor Go: ehol, I will lift up mine hn to the Gentiles, n set up my stnr to the people; n they shll ring thy sons in their rms, n thy ughters shll e rrie upon their shoulers. 23 n kings shll e thy nursing fthers, n their queens thy nursing mothers; they shll ow own to thee with their fe towrs the erth, n lik up the ust of thy feet; n thou shlt know tht I m the Lor; for they shll not e shme tht wit for me. 24 For shll the prey e tken from the mighty, or the lwful ptives elivere? 25 ut thus sith the Lor, even the ptives of the mighty shll e tken wy, n the prey of the terrile shll e elivere; for I will onten with him tht onteneth with thee, n I will sve thy hilren. 26 n I will fee them tht oppress thee with their own flesh; they shll e runken with their own loo s with sweet wine; n ll flesh shll know tht I, the Lor, m thy Svior n thy Reeemer, the Mighty One of Jo. 22:1[21] n now it me to pss tht fter I, Nephi, h re these things whih were engrven upon the pltes of rss, my rethren me unto me n si unto me: Wht meneth these things whih ye hve re? ehol, re they to e unerstoo oring to things whih re spiritul, whih shll ome to pss oring to the spirit n not the flesh? 2 n I, Nephi, si unto them: ehol they were mnifest unto the prophet y the voie of the Spirit; for y the Spirit re ll things me known unto the prophets, whih shll ome upon the hilren of men oring to the flesh. 3 Wherefore, the things of whih I hve re re things pertining to things oth temporl n spiritul; for it ppers tht the house of Isrel, sooner or lter, will e sttere upon ll the fe of the erth, n lso mong ll ntions. 4 n ehol, there re mny who re lrey lost from the knowlege of those who re t Jeruslem.

9 1 Nephi E Ye, the more prt of ll the tries hve een le wy; F n they re sttere to n fro upon the isles of the se; n whither they re none of us knoweth, E sve tht we know tht they hve een le wy. 5 n sine they hve een le wy, these things hve een prophesie onerning them, n lso onerning ll those who shll herefter e sttere n e onfoune, euse of the Holy One of Isrel; for ginst him will they hren their herts; wherefore, they shll e sttere mong ll ntions n shll e hte of ll men. 6 Nevertheless, fter they shll e nurse y the Gentiles, n the Lor hs lifte up his hn upon the Gentiles n set them up for stnr, n their hilren hve een rrie in their rms, n their ughters hve een rrie upon their shoulers, ehol these things of whih re spoken re temporl; for thus re the ovennts of the Lor with our fthers; n it meneth us in the ys to ome, n lso ll our rethren who re of the house of Isrel. 7 n it meneth tht the time ometh tht fter ll the house of Isrel hve een sttere n onfoune, tht the Lor Go will rise up mighty ntion mong the Gentiles, ye, even upon the fe of this ln; n y them shll our see e sttere. 8 n fter our see is sttere the Lor Go will proee to o mrvelous work mong the Gentiles, whih shll e of gret worth unto our see; wherefore, it is likene unto their eing nourishe y the Gentiles n eing rrie in their rms n upon their shoulers. 9 n it shll lso e of worth unto the Gentiles; n not only unto the Gentiles ut unto ll the house of Isrel, unto the mking known of the ovennts of the Fther of heven unto rhm, sying: In thy see shll ll the kinres of the erth e lesse. 10 n I woul, my rethren, tht ye shoul know tht ll the kinres of the erth nnot e lesse unless he shll mke re his rm in the eyes of the ntions. 11 Wherefore, the Lor Go will proee to mke re his rm in the eyes of ll the ntions, in ringing out his ovennts n his gospel unto those who re of the house of Isrel. 12 Wherefore, he will ring them gin out of ptivity, n they shll e gthere together to the lns of their inheritne;[22] n they shll e rought out of osurity n out of rkness; n they shll know tht the Lor is their Svior n their Reeemer, the Mighty One of Isrel. 13

10 68 1 Nephi 22 n the loo of tht gret n ominle hurh, whih is the whore of ll the erth, shll turn upon their own hes; for they shll wr mong themselves, n the swor of their own hns shll fll upon their own hes, n they shll e runken with their own loo. 14 n every ntion whih shll wr ginst thee, O house of Isrel, shll e turne one ginst nother, n they shll fll into the pit whih they igge to ensnre the people of the Lor. n ll tht fight ginst Zion shll e estroye, n tht gret whore, who hth perverte the right wys of the Lor, ye, tht gret n ominle hurh, shll tumle to the ust n gret shll e the fll of it. 15 E For ehol, sith the prophet, the time ometh speeily tht Stn shll hve no more power over the herts of the hilren of men; F for the y soon ometh tht ll the prou n they who o wikely shll e s stule; n the y ometh tht they must e urne For the time soon ometh tht the fulness of the wrth of Go shll e poure out upon ll the hilren of men; 2 for he will not suffer tht the wike shll estroy the righteous. 17 Wherefore, he will preserve the righteous e y his power, even if it so e tht the fulness of his wrth must ome, n the righteous e preserve, 1 even unto the estrution of their enemies y fire. 2 Wherefore, the righteous nee not fer; for thus sith the prophet, they shll e sve, even if it so e s y fire. 18 G ehol, my rethren, I sy unto you, tht these things must shortly ome; ye, even loo, n fire, n vpor of smoke must ome; n it must nees e upon the fe of this erth; n it ometh unto men oring to the flesh if it so e tht they will hren their herts ginst the Holy One of Isrel. 19 H For ehol, the righteous shll not perish; for the time surely must ome tht ll they who fight ginst Zion shll e ut off. 20

11 1 Nephi I n the Lor will surely prepre wy for his people, unto the fulfilling of the wors of Moses, whih he spke, sying: prophet shll the Lor your Go rise up unto you, like unto me; him shll ye her in ll things whtsoever he shll sy unto you. H n it shll ome to pss tht ll those who will not her tht prophet shll e ut off from mong the people. 21 G n now I, Nephi, elre unto you, tht this prophet of whom Moses spke ws the Holy One of Isrel; wherefore, he shll exeute jugment in righteousness. 22 F n the righteous nee not fer, for they re those who shll not e onfoune.[23] E ut it is the kingom of the evil, whih shll e uilt up mong the hilren of men, whih kingom is estlishe mong them whih re in the flesh--23 For the time speeily shll ome tht ll hurhes whih re uilt up to get gin, n ll those who re uilt up to get power over the flesh, n those who re uilt up to eome populr in the eyes of the worl, n those who seek the lusts of the flesh n the things of the worl, n to o ll mnner of iniquity; ye, in fine, ll those who elong to the kingom of the evil re they who nee fer, n tremle, n quke; they re those who must e rought low in the ust; they re those who must e onsume s stule; n this is oring to the wors of the prophet. 24 n the time ometh speeily tht the righteous must e le up s lves of the stll, n the Holy One of Isrel must reign in ominion, n might, n power, n gret glory. 25 n he gthereth his hilren from the four qurters of the erth; n he numereth his sheep, n they know him; n there shll e one fol n one shepher; n he shll fee his sheep, n in him they shll fin psture. 26 n euse of the righteousness of his people, Stn hs no power; wherefore, he nnot e loose for the spe of mny yers; for he hth no power over the herts of the people, for they well in righteousness, n the Holy One of Isrel reigneth. 27 n now ehol, I, Nephi, sy unto you tht ll these things must ome oring to the flesh. 28 ut, ehol, ll ntions, kinres, tongues, n people shll well sfely in the Holy One of Isrel
