The Book of Mormon Part 24

2 Nephi 21:9 9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.

2 Nephi 21:10 10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek; and his rest shall be glorious.

2 Nephi 21:11 11 And it shall come to pa.s.s in that day that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people which shall be left, from a.s.syria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from s.h.i.+nar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.

2 Nephi 21:12 12 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall a.s.semble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.

2 Nephi 21:13 13 The envy of Ephraim also shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off; Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim.

2 Nephi 21:14 14 But they shall fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines towards the west; they shall spoil them of the east together; they shall lay their hand upon Edom and Moab; and the children of Ammon shall obey them.

2 Nephi 21:15 15 And the Lord shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his mighty wind he shall shake his hand over the river, and shall smite it in the seven streams, and make men go over dry shod.

2 Nephi 21:16 16 And there shall be a highway for the remnant of his people which shall be left, from a.s.syria, like as it was to Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.

2 Nephi 23:1 1 The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see.

2 Nephi 23:2 2 Lift ye up a banner upon the high mountain, exalt the voice unto them, shake the hand, that they may go into the gates of the n.o.bles.

2 Nephi 23:3 3 I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called my mighty ones, for mine anger is not upon them that rejoice in my highness.

2 Nephi 23:4 4 The noise of the mult.i.tude in the mountains like as of a great people, a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together, the Lord of Hosts mustereth the hosts of the battle.

2 Nephi 23:5 5 They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, yea, the Lord, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.

2 Nephi 23:7 7 Therefore shall all hands be faint, every man's heart shall melt;

2 Nephi 23:8 8 And they shall be afraid; pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames.

2 Nephi 23:9 9 Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate; and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.

2 Nephi 23:10 10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light; the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to s.h.i.+ne.

2 Nephi 23:11 11 And I will punish the world for evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay down the haughtiness of the terrible.

2 Nephi 23:12 12 I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.

2 Nephi 23:13 13 Therefore, I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the Lord of Hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.

2 Nephi 23:14 14 And it shall be as the chased roe, and as a sheep that no man taketh up; and they shall every man turn to his own people, and flee every one into his own land.

2 Nephi 23:15 15 Every one that is proud shall be thrust through; yea, and every one that is joined to the wicked shall fall by the sword.

2 Nephi 23:17 17 Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall not regard silver and gold, nor shall they delight in it.

2 Nephi 23:18 18 Their bows shall also dash the young men to pieces, and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eyes shall not spare children.

2 Nephi 23:19 19 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees' excellency, shall be as when G.o.d overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.

2 Nephi 23:20 20 It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there.

2 Nephi 23:21 21 But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there.

2 Nephi 23:22 22 And the wild beasts of the islands shall cry in their desolate houses, and dragons in their pleasant palaces; and her time is near to come, and her day shall not be prolonged. For I will destroy her speedily; yea, for I will be merciful unto my people, but the wicked shall perish.

2 Nephi 24 Chapter 24

2 Nephi 24:1 1 For the Lord will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land; and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.

2 Nephi 24:2 2 And the people shall take them and bring them to their place; yea, from far unto the ends of the earth; and they shall return to their lands of promise. And the house of Israel shall possess them, and the land of the Lord shall be for servants and handmaids; and they shall take them captives unto whom they were captives; and they shall rule over their oppressors.

2 Nephi 24:3 3 And it shall come to pa.s.s in that day that the Lord shall give thee rest, from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve.

2 Nephi 24:5 5 The Lord hath broken the staff of the wicked, the scepters of the rulers.

2 Nephi 24:6 6 He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hindereth.

2 Nephi 24:7 7 The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet; they break forth into singing.

2 Nephi 24:8 8 Yea, the fir-trees rejoice at thee, and also the cedars of Lebanon, saying: Since thou art laid down no feller is come up against us.

2 Nephi 24:9 9 h.e.l.l from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming; it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations.

2 Nephi 24:10 10 All they shall speak and say unto thee: Art thou also become weak as we? Art thou become like unto us?

2 Nephi 24:11 11 Thy pomp is brought down to the grave; the noise of thy viols is not heard; the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee.
