15 After my seed and the seed of my brethren shall have dwindled in unbelief, and shall have been smitten by the Gentiles; yea, after the Lord God shall have camped against them round about, and shall have laid siege against them with a mount, and raised forts against them; and after they shall have been brought down low in the dust, even that they are not, yet the words of the righteous shall be written, and the prayers of the faithful shall be heard, and all those who have dwindled in unbelief shall not be forgotten.

12 And the fortress of the high fort of thy walls shall he bring down, lay low, and bring to the ground, even to the dust.

A Note on Linking to Individual Verses

I have included the capability of linking to individual verses within a chapter. For example if I want to link directly to the side by side comparison of 2 Nephi 24 and Isaiah 14 then I would use the URL:

http://isaiahbom.blogspot.com/2013/05/2-Nephi-24-Isaiah-14.html

But if I wanted to link to verse two specifically, i.e. 2 Nephi 24:2 and Isaiah 14:2, then I would add #2 to the end of the URL like so:

http://isaiahbom.blogspot.com/2013/05/2-Nephi-24-Isaiah-14.html#2

Also if you click on the numbering for each verse then it will take you to that verse and the address for that verse will be in the address bar of your browser. If there is a difference in the verse number between the Book of Mormon and the Bible then only the Book of Mormon verses are linked.

Similarities in the text are marked in GOLD. Variations in the text are marked in ROSE. 2 Nephi 28:7-8	Similarities in the text are marked in GOLD. Variations in the text are marked in GREEN. Isaiah 22:13
7 Yea, and there shall be many which shall say: Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die; and it shall be well with us.	13 And behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: let us eat and drink; for to morrow we shall die.
8 And there shall also be many which shall say: Eat, drink, and be merry; nevertheless, fear God—he will justify in committing a little sin; yea, lie a little, take the advantage of one because of his words, dig a pit for thy neighbor; there is no harm in this; and do all these things, for tomorrow we die; and if it so be that we are guilty, God will beat us with a few stripes, and at last we shall be saved in the kingdom of God.

This is another case of a single phrase from Isaiah being used in a longer discourse. It is worthwhile to consider Isaiah 22:13 in context and see how the intent and meaning of the phrase is used correctly in the discourse found in 2 Nephi 28.

Comparison of 2 Nephi 25:17, 2 Nephi 29:1, and Isaiah 11:11

This is a side-by-side comparison of 2 Nephi 25:17, 2 Nephi 29:1, and Isaiah 11:11.

Similarities in the text are marked in GOLD. Variations in the text are marked in ROSE. 2 Nephi 25:17	Similarities in the text are marked in GOLD. Variations in the text are marked in GREEN. Isaiah 11:11
17 And the Lord will set his hand again the second time to restore his people from their lost and fallen state. Wherefore, he will proceed to do a marvelous work and a wonder among the children of men.	11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
2 Nephi 29:1
1 But behold, there shall be many—at that day when I shall proceed to do a marvelous work among them, that I may remember my covenants which I have made unto the children of men, that I may set my hand again the second time to recover my people, which are of the house of Israel;	11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.

These two verses in the Book of Mormon both paraphrase the phrase "the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people" from Isaiah 11:11. In each there are slight variations due to context ("I" instead of "the Lord") and who is speaking. Also note that 2 Nephi 25:17 uses "restore" but 2 Nephi 29:1 uses "recover" just like Isaiah 11:11. Neither one refers to "the remnant of his people", but only refers to "his/my people".
