43 And also, that I may remember the promises which I have made unto thee, Nephi, and also unto thy father, that I would remember your seed; and that the words of your seed should proceed forth out of my mouth unto your seed.

44 And my words shall hiss forth unto the ends of the earth, for a standard unto my people, which are of the house of Israel.

45 And because my words shall hiss forth, many of the Gentiles shall say, A bible, a bible, we have got a bible, and there can not be any more bible.

46 But thus saith the Lord God: O fools, they shall have a bible; and it shall proceed forth from the Jews, mine ancient covenant people.

47 And what thank they the Jews for the bible which they received from them?

48 Yea, what do the Gentiles mean?

49 Do they remember the travels, and the labors, and the pains of the Jews, and their diligence unto me, in bringing forth salvation unto the Gentiles?

50 O ye Gentiles, have ye remembered the Jews, mine ancient covenant people?

51 Nay; but ye have cursed them, and have hated them, and have not sought to recover them.

52 But behold, I will return all these things upon your own heads; for I, the Lord, hath not forgotten my people.

53 Thou fool, that shall say, A bible, we have got a bible, and we need no more bible.
