“Isaiah says that the Lord, because of the emptiness of the worship, would perform a ‘marvelous work and wonder,’ by means of which the wisdom of their wise and the understanding of their prudent would perish and be hid; and Nephi applies this language to the coming forth of the Book of Mormon, as the beginning of a marvelous work and wonder, the effects of which would be the humiliation of the wisdom and learning of the world” (Reynolds and Sjodahl, Commentary on the Book of Mormon, 1:399).
