      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 pass 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 24:4

       4 And it shall come to pass in that day, that thou shalt take up

       this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say: How hath the

       oppressor ceased, the golden city ceased!

      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 Hell 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.

      2 Nephi 24:12

       12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the

       morning! Art thou cut down to the ground, which did weaken the

       nations!

      2 Nephi 24:13

       13 For thou hast said in thy heart: I will ascend into heaven, I

       will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will sit also upon

       the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north;

      2 Nephi 24:14

       14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like

       the Most High.

      2 Nephi 24:15

       15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the

       pit.

      2 Nephi 24:16

       16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and shall

       consider thee, and shall say: Is this the man that made the earth

       to tremble, that did shake kingdoms?

      2 Nephi 24:17

       17 And made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities

       thereof, and opened not the house of his prisoners?

      2 Nephi 24:18

       18 All the kings of the nations, yea, all of them, lie in glory,

       every one of them in his own house.

      2 Nephi 24:19

       19 But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch,

       and the remnant of those that are slain, thrust through with a

       sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcass

       trodden under feet.

      2 Nephi 24:20

       20 Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou

       hast destroyed thy land and slain thy people; the seed of

       evil-doers shall never be renowned.

      2 Nephi 24:21

       21 Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquities of

       their fathers, that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor

       fill the face of the world with cities.

      2 Nephi 24:22

       22 For I will rise up against them, saith the Lord of Hosts, and

       cut off from Babylon the name, and remnant, and son, and nephew,

       saith the Lord.

      2 Nephi 24:23

       23 I will also make it a possession for the bittern, and pools

       of water; and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction,

       saith the Lord of Hosts.

      2 Nephi 24:24

       24 The Lord of Hosts hath sworn, saying: Surely as I have

       thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so

       shall it stand—

      2 Nephi 24:25

       25 That I will bring the Assyrian in my land, and upon my

       mountains tread him under foot; then shall his yoke depart from

       off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders.

      2 Nephi 24:26

       26 This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth;
