2 Nephi 9:17–19

O the greatness and the justice of our God!

For he executeth all his words,
and they have gone forth out of his mouth,
and his law must be fulfilled.

But, behold, the righteous,
the saints of the Holy One of Israel,
they who have believed in the Holy One of Israel,
they who have endured the crosses of the world,
and despised the shame of it,

They shall inherit the kingdom of God,
which was prepared for them
from the foundation of the world,
and their joy shall be full forever.

O the greatness of the mercy of our God,
the Holy One of Israel!

For he delivereth his saints
from that awful monster the devil,
and death, and hell,
and that lake of fire and brimstone,
which is endless torment.
