$ fortune mormon
Yea, and my soul delighteth in the words of Isaiah, for I came out from
Jerusalem, and mine eyes hath beheld the things of the Jews, and I know
that the Jews do understand the things of the prophets, and there is
none other people that understand the things which were spoken unto the
Jews like unto them, save it be that they are taught after the manner
of the things of the Jews.
-- 2 Nephi 25:5
