2 Nephi 27:27 27 And wo unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the Lord!  And their works are in the dark; and they say:  Who seeth us, and who knoweth us?  And they also say:  Surely, your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter’s clay.  But behold, I will show unto them, saith the Lord of Hosts, that I know all their works.  For shall the work say of him that made it, he made me not?  Or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, he had no understanding?

2 Nephi 27:28 28 But behold, saith the Lord of Hosts:  I will show unto the children of men that it is yet a very little while and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field; and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest.

2 Nephi 27:29 29 And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity and out of darkness.

2 Nephi 27:30 30 And the meek also shall increase, and their joy shall be in the Lord, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.

2 Nephi 27:31 31 For assuredly as the Lord liveth they shall see that the terrible one is brought to naught, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off;

2 Nephi 27:32 32 And they that make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of naught.

2 Nephi 27:33 33 Therefore, thus saith the Lord, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob:  Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale.

2 Nephi 27:34 34 But when he seeth his children, the work of my hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.

2 Nephi 27:35 35 They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.

2 Nephi 28 Chapter 28

2 Nephi 28:1 1 And now, behold, my brethren, I have spoken unto you, according as the Spirit hath constrained me; wherefore, I know that they must surely come to pass.

2 Nephi 28:2 2 And the things which shall be written out of the book shall be of great worth unto the children of men, and especially unto our seed, which is a remnant of the house of Israel.

2 Nephi 28:3 3 For it shall come to pass in that day that the churches which are built up, and not unto the Lord, when the one shall say unto the other:  Behold, I, I am the Lord’s; and the others shall say:  I, I am the Lord’s; and thus shall every one say that hath built up churches, and not unto the Lord—­

2 Nephi 28:4 4 And they shall contend one with another; and their priests shall contend one with another, and they shall teach with their learning, and deny the Holy Ghost, which giveth utterance.

2 Nephi 28:5 5 And they deny the power of God, the Holy One of Israel; and they say unto the people:  Hearken unto us, and hear ye our precept; for behold there is no God today, for the Lord and the Redeemer hath done his work, and he hath given his power unto men;
