Audio recording of 2 Nephi, Chapter 12, from The Book of Mormon. Compare Isaiah, Chapter 2.
Though the prophet Isaiah has already been quoted extensively up to this point, this is the beginning of what many people call "the Isaiah chapters." For many Book of Mormon readers, especially new ones, this section is tougher to get through. The language of Isaiah is beautiful, but he was writing for a different people in a different time in history, and some of his metaphors and language can be challenging. I have found that with time and effort, these chapters begin to open themselves up.
