 Now I grieve in the spirit, to the point of growing weak for those who are in Jerusalem. But the Lord has shown mercy on me. He has saved me from perishing in Jerusalem and has shown me its destruction, just as He showed the prophets of old.

Surely the Lord showed the prophets of old everything about Jerusalem and about us and our descendants. It is very important for us to have their prophecies that are written on the brass plates.

I taught my brothers these things, and I read them many things from the brass plates so they would understand how the Lord has dealt with His people in other lands, and in times past.

Iread many things to them written by Moses, and especially by Isaiah, to persuade them to believe in the Lord their Redeemer.

I applied all the scriptures to our lives so that we could profit and learn from them.

Before reading some of Isaiah's, words I said, "Listen, you who are a branch of the house of Israel, which has been broken off and carried across the sea.

Listen to the words of Isaiah, written for all of Israel's descendants.

Apply Isaiah's, words to your lives so that you may have hope in your Redeemer along with the rest of the house of Israel. For the reason Isaiah, wrote was to give us hope!"
