11 Therefore the Lord shall set up the adversaries of Rezin
against him, and join his enemies together;
2 Nephi 19:12
12 The Syrians before and the Philistines behind; and they shall
devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not
turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
2 Nephi 19:13
13 For the people turneth not unto him that smiteth them,
neither do they seek the Lord of Hosts.
2 Nephi 19:14
14 Therefore will the Lord cut off from Israel head and tail,
branch and rush in one day.
2 Nephi 19:15
15 The ancient, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth
lies, he is the tail.
2 Nephi 19:16
16 For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they
that are led of them are destroyed.
2 Nephi 19:17
17 Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men,
neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows; for
every one of them is a hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth
speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but
his hand is stretched out still.
2 Nephi 19:18
18 For wickedness burneth as the fire; it shall devour the
briers and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the
forests, and they shall mount up like the lifting up of smoke.
2 Nephi 19:19
19 Through the wrath of the Lord of Hosts is the land darkened,
and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire; no man shall
spare his brother.
2 Nephi 19:20
20 And he shall snatch on the right hand and be hungry; and he
shall eat on the left hand and they shall not be satisfied; they
shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm—
2 Nephi 19:21
21 Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh; they together shall
be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but
his hand is stretched out still.
2 Nephi 20 Chapter 20
2 Nephi 20:1
1 Wo unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write
grievousness which they have prescribed;
2 Nephi 20:2
2 To turn away the needy from judgment, and to take away the
right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey,
and that they may rob the fatherless!
2 Nephi 20:3
3 And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the
desolation which shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for
help? and where will ye leave your glory?
2 Nephi 20:4
4 Without me they shall bow down under the prisoners, and they
shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned
away, but his hand is stretched out still.
2 Nephi 20:5
5 O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand
is their indignation.
2 Nephi 20:6
6 I will send him against a hypocritical nation, and against the
people of my wrath will I give him a charge to take the spoil,
and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the
streets.
2 Nephi 20:7
7 Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so;
but in his heart it is to destroy and cut off nations not a few.
2 Nephi 20:8
8 For he saith: Are not my princes altogether kings?
2 Nephi 20:9
9 Is not Calno as Carchemish? Is not Hamath as Arpad? Is not
Samaria as Damascus?
2 Nephi 20:10
10 As my hand hath founded the kingdoms of the idols, and whose
graven images did excel them of Jerusalem and of Samaria;
2 Nephi 20:11
11 Shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, so do
to Jerusalem and to her idols?
2 Nephi 20:12
12 Wherefore it shall come to pass that when the Lord hath
performed his whole work upon Mount Zion and upon Jerusalem, I
will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria,
and the glory of his high looks.
2 Nephi 20:13
13 For he saith: By the strength of my hand and by my wisdom I
have done these things; for I am prudent; and I have moved the
borders of the people, and have robbed their treasures, and I
have put down the inhabitants like a valiant man;
2 Nephi 20:14
14 And my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the people;
and as one gathereth eggs that are left have I gathered all the
earth; and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the
mouth, or peeped.
2 Nephi 20:15
15 Shall the ax boast itself against him that heweth therewith?
Shall the saw magnify itself against him that shaketh it? As if
the rod should shake itself against them that lift it up, or as
if the staff should lift up itself as if it were no wood!
2 Nephi 20:16
16 Therefore shall the Lord, the Lord of Hosts, send among his
fat ones, leanness; and under his glory he shall kindle a burning
like the burning of a fire.
2 Nephi 20:17
17 And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One
for a flame, and shall burn and shall devour his thorns and his
briers in one day;
2 Nephi 20:18
18 And shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his
fruitful field, both soul and body; and they shall be as when a
standard-bearer fainteth.
2 Nephi 20:19
19 And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few, that a
child may write them.
2 Nephi 20:20
20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of
