the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.
2 Nephi 12:12
12 For the day of the Lord of Hosts soon cometh upon all
nations, yea, upon every one; yea, upon the proud and lofty, and
upon every one who is lifted up, and he shall be brought low.
2 Nephi 12:13
13 Yea, and the day of the Lord shall come upon all the cedars
of Lebanon, for they are high and lifted up; and upon all the
oaks of Bashan;
2 Nephi 12:14
14 And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills, and
upon all the nations which are lifted up, and upon every people;
2 Nephi 12:15
15 And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall;
2 Nephi 12:16
16 And upon all the ships of the sea, and upon all the ships of
Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures.
2 Nephi 12:17
17 And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the
haughtiness of men shall be made low; and the Lord alone shall be
exalted in that day.
2 Nephi 12:18
18 And the idols he shall utterly abolish.
2 Nephi 12:19
19 And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the
caves of the earth, for the fear of the Lord shall come upon them
and the glory of his majesty shall smite them, when he ariseth to
shake terribly the earth.
2 Nephi 12:20
20 In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his
idols of gold, which he hath made for himself to worship, to the
moles and to the bats;
2 Nephi 12:21
21 To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the
ragged rocks, for the fear of the Lord shall come upon them and
the majesty of his glory shall smite them, when he ariseth to
shake terribly the earth.
2 Nephi 12:22
22 Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for
wherein is he to be accounted of?
2 Nephi 13 Chapter 13
2 Nephi 13:1
1 For behold, the Lord, the Lord of Hosts, doth take away from
Jerusalem, and from Judah, the stay and the staff, the whole
staff of bread, and the whole stay of water—
2 Nephi 13:2
2 The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the
prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient;
2 Nephi 13:3
3 The captain of fifty, and the honorable man, and the
counselor, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator.
2 Nephi 13:4
4 And I will give children unto them to be their princes, and
babes shall rule over them.
2 Nephi 13:5
5 And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and
every one by his neighbor; the child shall behave himself proudly
against the ancient, and the base against the honorable.
2 Nephi 13:6
6 When a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his
father, and shall say: Thou hast clothing, be thou our ruler, and
let not this ruin come under thy hand—
2 Nephi 13:7
7 In that day shall he swear, saying: I will not be a healer;
for in my house there is neither bread nor clothing; make me not
a ruler of the people.
2 Nephi 13:8
8 For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen, because their
tongues and their doings have been against the Lord, to provoke
the eyes of his glory.
2 Nephi 13:9
9 The show of their countenance doth witness against them, and
doth declare their sin to be even as Sodom, and they cannot hide
it. Wo unto their souls, for they have rewarded evil unto
themselves!
2 Nephi 13:10
10 Say unto the righteous that it is well with them; for they
shall eat the fruit of their doings.
2 Nephi 13:11
11 Wo unto the wicked, for they shall perish; for the reward of
their hands shall be upon them!
2 Nephi 13:12
12 And my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule
over them. O my people, they who lead thee cause thee to err and
destroy the way of thy paths.
2 Nephi 13:13
13 The Lord standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the
people.
2 Nephi 13:14
14 The Lord will enter into judgment with the ancients of his
people and the princes thereof; for ye have eaten up the vineyard
and the spoil of the poor in your houses.
2 Nephi 13:15
15 What mean ye? Ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the
faces of the poor, saith the Lord God of Hosts.
2 Nephi 13:16
16 Moreover, the Lord saith: Because the daughters of Zion are
haughty, and walk with stretched-forth necks and wanton eyes,
walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their
feet—
2 Nephi 13:17
17 Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the
head of the daughters of Zion, and the Lord will discover their
secret parts.
2 Nephi 13:18
18 In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their
tinkling ornaments, and cauls, and round tires like the moon;
2 Nephi 13:19
19 The chains and the bracelets, and the mufflers;
2 Nephi 13:20
20 The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the
headbands, and the tablets, and the ear-rings;
2 Nephi 13:21
21 The rings, and nose jewels;
2 Nephi 13:22
22 The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the
wimples, and the crisping-pins;
