Isaiah 5:25 - 2 nephi 15:25
Isaiah 14:26-27 - 2 Nephi 24:26-27
Isaiah 10:4 - 2 Nephi 20:4
Don’t be too hard on your parents and leaders when we repeat ourselves. The Lord had Moroni teach a young prophet through repetition. Repetition ingrains gospel principles in our minds and hearts.
Glad Tidings from Cumorah
By Susan W. Tanner
One of the ways we may know that the warning is from the Lord is that the law of witnesses, authorized witnesses, has been invoked. When the words of prophets seem repetitive, that should rivet our attention and fill our hearts with gratitude to live in such a blessed time.
Finding Safety in Counsel
By Elder Henry B. Eyring
Repetition is a key to learning. Our sons need to hear the truth repeated, especially because there is so much falsehood abroad.
Worthy Fathers, Worthy Sons
By President Ezra Taft Benson
The other day, I posted a meme that quoted the above verses, "but his hand is stretched out still." Someone remarked that she loved that phrase and it's repeated several times. I thought of how often the prophets have said to pay attention to anything that's repeated. It means it's that much more important. The Isaiah chapters are huge sevtins of repetition. The nephites had these words on the plates. Nephi recirded them specifically for us in our day. If God took up precious space to record Isaiah again, it must be important.
