DAY 35 – II Nephi 5:75-114

75 Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation:
76 For a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light for the people.
77 My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth, and mine arm shall judge the people.
78 The isles shall wait upon me, and on mine arm shall they trust.
79 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath:
80 For the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment; and they that dwell therein, shall die in like manner.
81 But my salvation shall be for ever; and my righteousness shall not be abolished.
82 Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart I have written my law;
83 Fear ye not the reproach of men; neither be ye afraid of their revilings;
84 For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool.
85 But my righteousness shall be for ever; and my salvation from generation to generation.
86 Awake, awake! Put on strength O arm of the Lord: awake as in the ancient days.
87 Art thou not it that hath cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon?
88 Art thou not it which hath dried the sea, the waters of the great deep;
89 That hath made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed to pass over?
90 Therefore, the redeemed of the Lord shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy and holiness shall be upon their heads;
91 And they shall obtain gladness and joy: sorrow and mourning shall flee away.
92 I am he; yea, I am he that comforteth you:
93 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;
94 And forgettest the Lord thy maker, that hath stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth;
95 And hast feared continually every day, because of the fury of the oppressor, as if he were ready to destroy?
96 And where is the fury of the oppressor?
97 The captive exile hasteneth, that he may be loosed, and that he should not die in the pit, nor that his bread should fail.
98 But I am the Lord thy God, whose waves roared: the Lord of hosts is my name.
99 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.
100 Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, which hast drunk at the hand of the Lord the cup of his fury;
101 Thou hast drunken the dregs of the cup of trembling wrung out;
102 And none to guide her among all the sons she hath brought forth;
103 Neither that taketh her by the hand, of all the sons she hath brought up.
104 These two sons are come unto thee; who shall be sorry for thee: thy desolation and destruction, and the famine and the sword:
105 And by whom shall I comfort thee?
106 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.
107 Therefore, hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken, and not with wine:
108 Thus saith thy Lord, The Lord and thy God pleadeth the cause of his people:
109 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.
110 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:
111 And thou hast laid thy body as the ground, and as the street to them that went over.
112 Awake, awake, put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city:
113 For henceforth there shall no more come into thee, the uncircumcised and the unclean.
114 Shake thyself from the dust; arise, sit down, O Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion.
