2 Nephi 16:44 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that
cried, and the house was filled with smoke.
2 Nephi 16:5
5 Then said I: Wo is unto me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips; and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of Hosts.
2 Nephi 16:6
6 Then flew one of the seraphim unto me, having a live coal in
his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar;
2 Nephi 16:7
7 And he laid it upon my mouth, and said: Lo, this has touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.
2 Nephi 16:8
8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then I said: Here am I; send me.
2 Nephi 16:9
9 And he said: Go and tell this people--Hear ye indeed, but they understood not; and see ye indeed, but they perceived not.
2 Nephi 16:10
10 Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes--lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted and be healed.
2 Nephi 16:11
11 Then said I: Lord, how long? And he said: Until the cities
be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate;
2 Nephi 16:12
12 And the Lord have removed men far away, for there shall be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.
2 Nephi 16:13
13 But yet there shall be a tenth, and they shall return, and shall be eaten, as a teil-tree, and as an oak whose substance is in them when they cast their leaves; so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof.
2 Nephi 17 Chapter 17

2 Nephi 17:1
1 And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin, king of Syria, and
Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up toward
Jerusalem to war against it, but could not prevail against it.
2 Nephi 17:2
2 And it was told the house of David, saying: Syria is
confederate with Ephraim. And his heart was moved, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the wood are moved with the wind.
2 Nephi 17:3
3 Then said the Lord unto Isaiah: Go forth now to meet Ahaz, thou and Shearjashub thy son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller's field;
2 Nephi 17:4
4 And say unto him: Take heed, and be quiet; fear not, neither be faint-hearted for the two tails of these smoking firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin with Syria, and of the son of Remaliah.
2 Nephi 17:5
5 Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have taken evil counsel against thee, saying:
2 Nephi 17:6
6 Let us go up against Judah and vex it, and let us make a breach therein for us, and set a king in the midst of it, yea, the son of Tabeal.
2 Nephi 17:7
7 Thus saith the Lord God: It shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass.
2 Nephi 17:8
8 For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus, Rezin; and within three score and five years shall Ephraim be broken that it be not a people.
2 Nephi 17:9
9 And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son. If ye will not believe surely ye shall not be established.
2 Nephi 17:10
10 Moreover, the Lord spake again unto Ahaz, saying:
2 Nephi 17:11
11 Ask thee a sign of the Lord thy God; ask it either in the depths, or in the heights above.
2 Nephi 17:12
12 But Ahaz said: I will not ask, neither will I tempt the Lord.
2 Nephi 17:13
13 And he said: Hear ye now, O house of David; is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my God also?
2 Nephi 17:14
14 Therefore, the Lord himself shall give you a sign--Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and shall bear a son, and shall call his
name Immanuel.
2 Nephi 17:15
15 Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil and to choose the good.
2 Nephi 17:16
16 For before the child shall know to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings.
2 Nephi 17:17
88
17 The Lord shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father's house, days that have not come from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah, the king of Assyria.
2 Nephi 17:18
18 And it shall come to pass in that day that the Lord shall hiss for the fly that is in the uttermost part of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.
2 Nephi 17:19
19 And they shall come, and shall rest all of them in the desolate valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, and upon all thorns, and upon all bushes.
2 Nephi 17:20
20 In the same day shall the Lord shave with a razor that is hired, by them beyond the river, by the king of Assyria, the head, and the hair of the feet; and it shall also consume the beard.
2 Nephi 17:21
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, a man shall nourish a young cow and two sheep;
2 Nephi 17:22
22 And it shall come to pass, for the abundance of milk they shall give he shall eat butter; for butter and honey shall every one eat that is left in the land.
2 Nephi 17:23
