254 Yea, then will he remember the isles of the sea;
255 Yea, and all the people who are of the house of Israel, will I gather in, saith the Lord, according to the words of the prophet Zenos, from the four quarters of the earth;
256 Yea, and all the earth shall see the salvation of the Lord, saith the prophet;
257 Every nation, kindred, tongue and people, shall be blessed.
258 And I, Nephi, have written these things unto my people, that perhaps I might persuade them that they would remember the Lord their Redeemer;
259 Wherefore, I speak unto all the house of Israel, if it so be that they should obtain these things.
260 For behold, I have workings in the spirit, which doth weary me, even that all my joints are weak, for those who are at Jerusalem;
261 For had not the Lord been merciful, to shew unto me concerning them, even as he had prophets of old, I should have perished also;
262 And he surely did shew unto the prophets of old, all things concerning them;
263 And also he did shew unto many concerning us;
264 Wherefore, it must needs be, that we know concerning them, for they are written upon the plates of brass.
