A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Isaiah (II)
ISAIAH. The Hebrew prophet. His prophecies were engraven on the plates obtained from Laban, and were greatly valued by Nephi and his righteous descendants. The following chapters from the Book of Isaiah are quoted in full in the Book of Mormon: chapters 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 48, 49, 50, 51, 53, 54. They are given to us very much as they appear in the Bible, with here and there an important addition, which had evidently been left out of the manuscripts from which the Bible, as we have it to-day, were originally taken. In a few instances the meaning of the passage is entirely altered; for instance: Thou hast multiplied the nation and not increased the joy (Isaiah, 9:3,) appears, Thou hast multiplied the nation and increased the joy. (II Nephi, 19:3.)
