Isaiah 52:14-15

8 And when that day shall come, it shall come to pass that kings shall shut their mouths; for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider.

15 So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider.


10 But behold, the life of my servant shall be in my hand; therefore they shall not hurt him, although he shall be marred because of them. Yet I will heal him, for I will show unto them that my wisdom is greater than the cunning of the devil.

14 As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:

10 And now I say unto you, who shall declare his generation? Behold, I say unto you, that when his soul has been made an offering for sin he shall see his seed. And now what say ye? And who shall be his seed?

8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.

10 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.

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.

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.
