2 Nephi 25:1

Now I, Nephi, do speak somewhat concerning the words which I have written, which have been spoken by the mouth of Isaiah. For behold, Isaiah spake many things which were hard for many of my people to understand: for they know not concerning the manner of prophesying among the Jews.

I, Nephi, want to talk about the words I have written. These are words that Isaiah spoke. Isaiah said many things that were hard for my people to understand. They don’t know how prophets speak among the Jews.

I want to say a few things about the words from Isaiah I’ve just written down. The truth is, Isaiah’s writings are hard for my people to understand. They don’t know how Jewish prophets speak.
