THE SECOND BOOK OF NEPHI - Chapter 15

15:1 And then will I sing to my well-beloved a song of my beloved,
touching his vineyard. My well-beloved hath a vineyard in a very
fruitful hill.

15:2 And he fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted
it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and
also made a wine-press therein; and he looked that it should bring
forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes.

15:3 And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I
pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard.

15:4 What could have been done more to my vineyard that I have not done
in it? Wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes it
brought forth wild grapes.

15:5 And now go to; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard—I
will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; and I will
break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down;

15:6 And I will lay it waste; it shall not be pruned nor digged; but
there shall come up briers and thorns; I will also command the clouds
that they rain no rain upon it.

15:7 For the vineyard of the Lord of Hosts is the house of Israel, and
the men of Judah his pleasant plant; and he looked for judgment, and
behold, oppression; for righteousness, but behold, a cry.

15:8 Wo unto them that join house to house, till there can be no place,
that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth!

15:9 In mine ears, said the Lord of Hosts, of a truth many houses shall
be desolate, and great and fair cities without inhabitant.

15:10 Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and the seed of
a homer shall yield an ephah.

15:11 Wo unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may
follow strong drink, that continue until night, and wine inflame them!

15:12 And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine are in
their feasts; but they regard not the work of the Lord, neither
consider the operation of his hands.

15:13 Therefore, my people are gone into captivity, because they have
no knowledge; and their honorable men are famished, and their multitude
dried up with thirst.

15:14 Therefore, hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth
without measure; and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp,
and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.

15:15 And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall
be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled.

15:16 But the Lord of Hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that
is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness.

15:17 Then shall the lambs feed after their manner, and the waste
places of the fat ones shall strangers eat.

15:18 Wo unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as
it were with a cart rope;

15:19 That say: Let him make speed, hasten his work, that we may see
it; and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come,
that we may know it.

15:20 Wo unto them that call evil good, and good evil, that put
darkness for light, and light for darkness, that put bitter for sweet,
and sweet for bitter!

15:21 Wo unto the wise in their own eyes and prudent in their own
sight!

15:22 Wo unto the mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle
strong drink;

15:23 Who justify the wicked for reward, and take away the
righteousness of the righteous from him!

15:24 Therefore, as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame
consumeth the chaff, their root shall be rottenness, and their blossoms
shall go up as dust; because they have cast away the law of the Lord of
Hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

15:25 Therefore, is the anger of the Lord kindled against his people,
and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten
them; and the hills did tremble, and their carcasses were torn in the
midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but
his hand is stretched out still.

15:26 And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will
hiss unto them from the end of the earth; and behold, they shall come
with speed swiftly; none shall be weary nor stumble among them.

15:27 None shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their
loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken;

15:28 Whose arrows shall be sharp, and all their bows bent, and their
horses’ hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a
whirlwind, their roaring like a lion.

15:29 They shall roar like young lions; yea, they shall roar, and lay
hold of the prey, and shall carry away safe, and none shall deliver.

15:30 And in that day they shall roar against them like the roaring of
the sea; and if they look unto the land, behold, darkness and sorrow,
and the light is darkened in the heavens thereof.
