3 Nephi 22 My Kindness Shall Not Depart


The Lord quotes Isaiah:  “Strengthen thy stakes…sing…break forth into singing…fear not…forget the shame of thy youth…with great mercies will I gather thee…my kindness shall not depart from thee…great shall be the peace of thy children…In righteousness shalt thou be established; thou shalt be far from oppression for thou shalt not fear, and from terror for it shall not come near thee.”  And, Isaiah throws in this little word play (with a wink, wink):  “Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals.”  Tell me he is not saying “Joseph Smith will get the fire started.”
