DAY 34 – II Nephi 5:30-74

30 And blessed are the Gentiles, they of whom the prophet has written:
31 For behold, if it so be that they shall repent and fight not against Zion, and do not unite themselves to that great and abominable church, they shall be saved:
32 For the Lord God will fulfill his covenants which he has made unto his children: and for this cause the prophet has written these things.
33 Wherefore, they that fight against Zion and the covenant people of the Lord, shall lick up the dust of their feet;
34 And the people of the Lord shall not be ashamed.
35 For the people of the Lord are they who wait for him: for they still wait for the coming of the Messiah.
36 And behold, according to the words of the prophet, the Messiah will set himself again the second time, to recover them;
37 Wherefore, he will manifest himself unto them in power and great glory, unto the destruction of their enemies, when that day cometh when they shall believe in him;
38 And none will he destroy that believe in him.
39 And they that believe not in him, shall be destroyed, both by fire, and by tempest, and by earthquakes, and by bloodsheds, and by pestilence, and by famine.
40 And they shall know that the Lord is God, the Holy One of Israel:
41 For shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered?
42 But thus saith the Lord; Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for the mighty God shall deliver his covenant people.
43 For thus saith the Lord: I will contend with them that contendeth with thee, and I will feed them that oppress thee, with their own flesh;
44 And they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine;
45 And all flesh shall know that I the Lord am thy Savior and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.
46 Yea, for thus saith the Lord: Have I put thee away, or have I cast thee off for ever?
47 For thus saith the Lord: Where is the bill of your mother’s divorcement?
48 To whom have I put thee away, or to which of my creditors have I sold you?
49 Yea, to whom have I sold you?
50 Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away;
51 Wherefore, when I came, there was no man; when I called, yea, there was none to answer.
52 O, House of Israel, is my hand shortened at all that it can not redeem, or have I no power to deliver?
53 Behold, at my rebuke, I dry up the sea, I make their rivers a wilderness and their fish to stink, because the waters are dried up; and they die because of thirst.
54 I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their coverings.
55 The Lord God hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season unto thee, O house of Israel.
56 When ye are weary, he waketh morning by morning.
57 He waketh mine ear to hear as the learned.
58 The Lord God hath appointed mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back.
59 I gave my back to the smiter, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair.
60 I hid not my face from shame and spitting, for the Lord God will help me: therefore shall I not be confounded.
61 Therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed; and the Lord is near, and he justifieth me.
62 Who will contend with me?
63 Let us stand together.
64 Who is mine adversary?
65 Let him come near me, and I will smite him with the strength of my mouth: for the Lord God will help me.
66 And all they who shall condemn me, behold, all they shall wax old as a garment, and the moth shall eat them up.
67 Who is among you that feareth the Lord; that obeyeth the voice of his servant; that walketh in darkness, and hath no light?
68 Behold, all ye that kindle fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks, walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks which ye have kindled.
69 This shall ye have of mine hand:Ye shall lie down in sorrow.
70 Hearken unto me, ye that follow after righteousness: Look unto the rock from whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit from whence ye are digged.
71 Look unto Abraham, your father, and unto Sarah, she that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him.
72 For the Lord shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places;
73 And he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the Lord.
74 Joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving and the voice of melody.
