From the Isaiah 51 (2 Nephi 8)From the Isaiah 51 (2 Nephi 8)
Hearken to me, ye that followafter righteousness, ye that seek theLORD:
look unto the rock whence ye are hewn,
and to the hole of the pit whence ye aredigged.
Look unto Abraham your father,
and unto Sarah that bare you:
for I called him alone, and blessed him, andincreased him.
For the LORD shall comfort Zion:
he will comfort all her waste places;
and he will make her wilderness like Eden,
and her desert like the garden of theLORD;
joy and gladness shall be found therein,thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
