shining of a flaming fire by night; for upon all the glory of
Zion shall be a defence.

from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and a covert from storm
and from rain.

2 Nephi 15:1
1 And then will I sing to my well-beloved a song of my beloved,
touching his vineyard. My well-beloved hath a vineyard in a very
fruitful hill.
2 Nephi 15:2
2 And he fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and
planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst
of it, and also made a wine-press therein; and he looked that it
should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes.
2 Nephi 15:3
3 And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge,
I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard.
2 Nephi 15:4
4 What could have been done more to my vineyard that I have not
done in it? Wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth
grapes it brought forth wild grapes.
2 Nephi 15:5
5 And now go to; I will tell you what I will do to my
vineyard—I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be
eaten up; and I will break down the wall thereof, and it shall be
trodden down;
2 Nephi 15:6
6 And I will lay it waste; it shall not be pruned nor digged;
but there shall come up briers and thorns; I will also command
the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.
2 Nephi 15:7
7 For the vineyard of the Lord of Hosts is the house of Israel,
and the men of Judah his pleasant plant; and he looked for
judgment, and behold, oppression; for righteousness, but behold,
a cry.
2 Nephi 15:8
8 Wo unto them that join house to house, till there can be no
place, that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth!

shall be desolate, and great and fair cities without inhabitant.
2 Nephi 15:10

of a homer shall yield an ephah.
2 Nephi 15:11
11 Wo unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may
follow strong drink, that continue until night, and wine inflame
them!
2 Nephi 15:12
12 And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine
are in their feasts; but they regard not the work of the Lord,
neither consider the operation of his hands.
2 Nephi 15:13
13 Therefore, my people are gone into captivity, because they
have no knowledge; and their honorable men are famished, and
their multitude dried up with thirst.
2 Nephi 15:14
14 Therefore, hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth
without measure; and their glory, and their multitude, and their
pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.
2 Nephi 15:15
15 And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man
shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled.

that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness.

places of the fat ones shall strangers eat.
2 Nephi 15:18
18 Wo unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin
as it were with a cart rope;
2 Nephi 15:19
19 That say: Let him make speed, hasten his work, that we may
see it; and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh
and come, that we may know it.
2 Nephi 15:20
20 Wo unto them that call evil good, and good evil, that put
darkness for light, and light for darkness, that put bitter for
sweet, and sweet for bitter!
2 Nephi 15:21
21 Wo unto the wise in their own eyes and prudent in their own
sight!
2 Nephi 15:22
