2 Nephi 29:4–5

But thus saith the Lord God:

“O fools, they shall have a Bible.

“And it shall proceed forth from the Jews,
mine ancient covenant people.
and what thank they the Jews for the Bible
which they receive from them?
yea, what do the Gentiles mean?

“Do they remember the travails,
and the labors, and the pains of the Jews,
and their diligence unto me,
in bringing forth salvation unto the Gentiles?

“O ye Gentiles,
have ye remembered the Jews,
mine ancient covenant people?

“Nay; but ye have cursed them,
and have hated them,
and have not sought to recover them.

“But behold, I will return all these things
upon your own heads.

“For I the Lord have not forgotten my people.
