[AGT] v20 Then shall come
to pass
|
• v1 But behold, there
shall be many--at that day
• when I shall proceed |
| 113 |
the proverb: |
to do a marvelous work |
| 114
|
a [KJV] For the bed is
shorter
b than that a man
c
can stretch himself on it:
|
among them,
[See "cast" & "out": Isa. 66:5; Isa. 56:6-8;
27:12,13; Zeph. 3:17-19; Gen. 37:22; Luke 6:22; John 12:31; Acts 3:21,22;
2 Ne. 26:3; Jacob 7:26; Msh. 15:5; Alma 10:23; 32:12; 33:2,10; 12:4;
34:40; Ether 13:13 (& "marvelous").] |
| 115
|
a and the covering
narrower
b than that he
c
can wrap himself in it.
|
that I may remember my covenants
which I have made unto the children of men,
[See JST-Matt. 9:18-21 = D&C 22
Chiasm (5/3/95); also Ezek. 34:10-13,16,22-25; 20:40,41,43,44] |
Then shall it come to pass--at that day when I shall proceed to do a
marvelous work--that this proverb shall be among many of them: The bed is
shorter and the
covering narrower than that a man can stretch himself out and wrap himself up in
it; and this that I may remember my covenants which I have made unto the
children of men.
| 116
|
a v21 For the Lord
shall rise up
b AS IN
c mount Perazim,
[See "parazim" 1 Chron. 14:11-13,17 (= 2 Sam.
5:19-21).] |
• that I may set
my hand AGAIN
[See "again" & "second" &
"time": Isa. 11:10,1-b,11,12 (= 2 Ne. 21); 2 Ne. 6:13-15;
25:15-18; Jacob 6:2; "hand" Ezk. 20:33-35,38.] |
| 117
|
a he shall be wroth
b AS IN
c the valley of
Gibeon,
[See "Gibeon" Josh. 10:8-11,14,25,40-42.]
|
• THE
SECOND TIME
to recover my people,
which are of the house of Israel; |
For I, the Lord, shall rise up and be wroth, that I may set my hand again as
I did in mount Perazim, or as in the valley of Gibeon--now for the second
time--that I may recover my people, which are of the house of Israel;
| 118 |
that he
may |
v2 And also, that
I may |
| 119
|
do HIS WORK,
|
a remember
the promises
b which I have made unto
thee, Nephi,
b and also unto thy
father,
a that I would remember
your seed; |
That I may do my work, and remember the promises that I have made unto thee,
Nephi, and also unto thy fathers, that I would remember your seed;
| 120
|
his STRANGE WORK;
|
a and that the words
of your seed
b
should proceed forth
b out
of my mouth
a unto your seed; |
And performing my strange work, the words of your seed shall proceed forth
out of my mouth unto your seed;
| 121
|
and bring to pass HIS
ACT,
|
and my words shall hiss
forth unto the ends of the earth,
[See "hiss": Isa. 5:26 (= 2 Ne. 15:26); Moro. 10:28.] |
And bringing to pass my act, my words shall hiss forth unto the ends of the
earth, for a standard unto my people, which are of the house of Israel.
122
|
his STRANGE ACT.
|
for A STANDARD unto my
people, which are of the house of Israel; |
This is my strange act, to be a standard unto my people which are of the
House of Israel.
| 123 |
v22 Now therefore |
v3 And because my
words shall hiss forth-- |
| 124 |
be ye not |
many of the Gentiles |
| 125 |
mockers, |
shall say: A Bible! A
Bible! We have got a Bible, |
| 126
|
lest your bands be made
strong:
[See "bands/chains" Alma 12:10,11; D&C 88:94; also 2 Ne.
28:22 correlations #87,88 in 2 Ne. 28 Parallel (4/2/92, revised 5/22/95).] |
and there cannot be any
more Bible.
|
Now therefore, because my words shall hiss forth, many of the Gentiles will
mock me, saying: A Bible! A Bible! We have got a Bible; and their bands are made
strong, as they say, There cannot be any more Bible.
| 127 |
for I |
v4 But thus saith the Lord God: O
fools, |
| 128 |
have heard |
they shall have
a Bible; |
| 129 |
from the Lord
God |
and it shall proceed forth from
the Jews, |
| 130 |
of hosts |
mine ancient covenant
people. |
But thus saith the Lord God: O Fools, they shall have a Bible by which they
may hearmy voice, and it shall proceed forth by my hand, from the Jews, the
hosts of mine ancient covenant people.
| 131 |
a consumption,
[See D&C 59:21,22; 84:23,24; Deut. 11:17-19; 2 Kings
22:13.] |
And what thank they
the Jews for the Bible which they receive from them? |
And what thank they the Jews that were consumed that a Bible might be
received of them?
| 132 |
even determined
[e.g. Acts 5:40-42; 20:19-21,26,27; Phil. 3:5,6; 2 Cor. 11:22-28; Rom.
11:11,15,19-21,25,30-32; Isa. 11:13-b.] |
a Yea, what do the Gentiles
mean?
b Do they
c remember
d
the travails, and the labors, and the pains of the
Jews,
e and their diligence unto me,
f in bringing forth salvation
g unto the Gentiles?
a v5 O ye Gentiles,
b have ye
c remembered
d
the Jews, mine ancient
covenant people?
e Nay; but ye have cursed them,
e and have hated them,
f and have not sought to recover
g them. |
O ye Gentiles, what do you mean? Have ye remembered the travails, and the
determined labors, and the pains of the Jews, mine ancient covenant people? Nay;
but ye have cursed them, and have hated them; and notwithstanding their
diligence unto me in bringing forth salvation unto you, ye have not sought to
recover them.
| 133 |
upon the whole
earth. |
But behold, I will return all
these things upon your own
heads; |
|
[Omission]
|
for I the Lord HAVE NOT
FORGOTTEN my people.
[See Rom. 11:1,2.] |
But behold, for this have I determined to return all these things upon your
own heads, even upon the whole earth; for though you may forget, I the Lord have
not forgotten my people.

A v23 Give ye ear,
|
A v6 Thou fool, that shall
say: A Bible, we have got a Bible, |
| 135 |
B
and hear my voice; |
B
and we need no more Bible. |
| 136 |
A hearken,
|
A Have ye obtained a
Bible save it were by the Jews? |
| 137 |
B
and hear my speech.
|
B
v7 Know ye not that there are more nations than one? |
Give ye ear, thou fool, that shall say: A Bible, we have got a Bible; and
hearken; for have ye obtained a Bible save it were by the Jews? Why say ye, We
need no more Bible--by which ye might hear my voice? Know ye not that there are
more nations than one who have heard my speech?
