2 Nephi 6:97 - 2 Nephi 7:1
97 Behold, if ye were holy, I would speak unto you of holiness; but as ye are not holy, and ye look upon me as a teacher, it must needs be expedient that I teach you the consequences of sin.
98 Behold, my soul abhorreth sin, and my heart delighteth in righteousness; and I will praise the holy name of my God.
99 Come, my brethren, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters; and he that hath no money, come buy and eat; yea, come buy wine and milk without money and without price.
100 Wherefore, do not spend money for that which is of no worth, nor your labor for that which can not satisfy.
101 Hearken diligently unto me, and remember the words which I have spoken; and come unto the Holy One of Israel,
102 And feast upon that which perisheth not, neither can be corrupted, and let your soul delight in fatness.
103 Behold, my beloved brethren, remember the words of your God; pray unto him continually by day, and give thanks unto his holy name by night.
104 Let your hearts rejoice, and behold how great the covenants of the Lord, and how great his condescensions unto the children of men;
105 And because of his greatness, and his grace and mercy, he has promised unto us that our seed shall not utterly be destroyed, according to the flesh, but that he would preserve them; and in future generations, they shall become a righteous branch unto the house of Israel.
106 And now, my brethren, I would speak unto you more; but on the morrow I will declare unto you the remainder of my words. Amen.
2 Nephi 7

98 Behold, my soul abhorreth sin, and my heart delighteth in righteousness; and I will praise the holy name of my God.
99 Come, my brethren, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters; and he that hath no money, come buy and eat; yea, come buy wine and milk without money and without price.
100 Wherefore, do not spend money for that which is of no worth, nor your labor for that which can not satisfy.
101 Hearken diligently unto me, and remember the words which I have spoken; and come unto the Holy One of Israel,
102 And feast upon that which perisheth not, neither can be corrupted, and let your soul delight in fatness.
103 Behold, my beloved brethren, remember the words of your God; pray unto him continually by day, and give thanks unto his holy name by night.
