Inasmuch as this people draw near to me with their lips, but have removed their hearts far from me, I will proceed to do a marvelous work, even a marvelous work and a wonder. [MUSIC PLAYING] I'd like to kill him myself. Yeah. Now, all we need is a plan.

Not yet.

And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying read this, I pray thee. I went to the city of New York and presented the characters, which has been translated with the translation thereof to Professor Anthon. He gave me a certificate attesting that they were true characters, and the translation was correct. Where did your friend get the record? It was delivered to him by an angel of God.

Hmm, may I see that certificate? Of course, Doctor. There are no such things as visions or angels.

You tell your young friend to bring the record to me. I'll translate it for him. The plates are sealed. I am forbidden to bring them.

I cannot read a sealed book.

It is not the work of God that is frustrated, but the work of men. Pray unto the Father-- I was one who was not learned, but the Lord provided the way. Thus the prophecy of Isaiah was fulfilled.

The record was translated through the gift and power and mercy of God and not the wisdom of man.

It was published as the Book of Mormon.

I told the brethren that the Book of Mormon is the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion.

It is just what Isaiah saw--a marvelous work and a wonder. Well, Mr. Smith. Is it acceptable to you?

Yes. Yes, this will do. I will proceed to do a marvelous work, even a marvelous work and a wonder.
