2 Nephi 32
Angels speak by the power of the Holy Ghost—Men must pray and gain knowledge for themselves from the Holy Ghost. About 559–545 B.C.
And
now,
behold,
my
beloved
brethren,
I
suppose
that
ye
ponder
somewhat
in
your
hearts
concerning
that
which
ye
should
do
after
ye
have
entered
in
by
the
way.
But,
behold,
why
do
ye
ponder
these
things
in
your
hearts?
2 Do
ye
not
remember
that
I
said
unto
you
that
after
ye
had
a
received
the
Holy
Ghost
ye
could
speak
with
the
b
tongue
of
angels?
And
now,
how
could
ye
speak
with
the
tongue
of
angels
save
it
were
by
the
Holy
Ghost?
3
a
Angels
speak
by
the
power
of
the
Holy
Ghost;
wherefore,
they
speak
the
words
of
Christ.
Wherefore,
I
said
unto
you,
b
feast
upon
the
c
words
of
Christ;
for
behold,
the
words
of
Christ
will
d
tell
you
all
things
what
ye
should
do.
4 Wherefore,
now
after
I
have
spoken
these
words,
if
ye
cannot
understand
them
it
will
be
because
ye
a
ask
not,
neither
do
ye
knock;
wherefore,
ye
are
not
brought
into
the
light,
but
must
perish
in
the
dark.
5 For
behold,
again
I
say
unto
you
that
if
ye
will
enter
in
by
the
way,
and
receive
the
Holy
Ghost,
it
will
a
show
unto
you
all
things
what
ye
should
do.
6 Behold,
this
is
the
doctrine
of
Christ,
and
there
will
be
no
more
doctrine
given
until
after
he
shall
a
manifest
himself
unto
you
in
the
flesh.
And
when
he
shall
manifest
himself
unto
you
in
the
flesh,
the
things
which
he
shall
say
unto
you
shall
ye
observe
to
do.
7 And
now
I,
Nephi,
cannot
say
more;
the
Spirit
stoppeth
mine
utterance,
and
I
am
left
to
mourn
because
of
the
a
unbelief,
and
the
wickedness,
and
the
ignorance,
and
the
b
stiffneckedness
of
men;
for
they
will
c
not
search
d
knowledge,
nor
understand
great
knowledge,
when
it
is
given
unto
them
in
e
plainness,
even
as
plain
as
word
can
be.
8 And
now,
my
beloved
brethren,
I
perceive
that
ye
ponder
still
in
your
hearts;
and
it
grieveth
me
that
I
must
speak
concerning
this
thing.
For
if
ye
would
hearken
unto
the
a
Spirit
which
teacheth
a
man
to
b
pray,
ye
would
know
that
ye
must
c
pray;
for
the
d
evil
spirit
teacheth
not
a
man
to
pray,
but
teacheth
him
that
he
must
not
pray.
9 But
behold,
I
say
unto
you
that
ye
must
a
pray
always,
and
not
faint;
that
ye
must
not
perform
any
thing
unto
the
Lord
save
in
the
first
place
ye
shall
b
pray
unto
the
Father
in
the
c
name
of
Christ,
that
he
will
d
consecrate
thy
performance
unto
thee,
that
thy
performance
may
be
for
the
e
welfare
of
thy
soul.
