Book of Mormon Haiku - 2 Nephi 3

Sorrow, affliction

Promises grown together

A choice seer rais'd up

2 Nephi 3 - Joseph in Egypt saw the Nephites in vision—He prophesied of Joseph Smith, the Latter-day seer; of Moses, who would deliver Israel; and of the coming forth of the Book of Mormon. About 588–570 B.C.

Out of the wilderness of sorrow and affliction comes the promise of covenants made and honored, leading to the great restoration (through the seer from Joseph's line) that will grow until falsehood is confounded and peace is established.
