2 Nephi 11:148 - 2 Nephi 11:158
148 And wo unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the Lord.
149 And their works are in the dark; and they say, who seeth us; and who knoweth us?
150 And they also say, Surely, your turning of things upside down, shall be esteemed as the potter's clay.
151 But behold, I will shew unto them, saith the Lord of hosts, that I know all their works.
152 For shall the works say of him that made it, He made me not?
153 Or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?
154 But behold, saith the Lord of hosts, I will shew unto the children of men, that it is not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field; and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest.
155 And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book; and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity and out of darkness:
156 And the meek also shall increase, and their joy shall be in the Lord; and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
157 For assuredly as the Lord liveth, they shall see that the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off; and they that make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of nought.
158 Therefore thus saith the Lord, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale.
149 And their works are in the dark; and they say, who seeth us; and who knoweth us?
150 And they also say, Surely, your turning of things upside down, shall be esteemed as the potter's clay.
