full of doleful creatures; and owls shall dwellthere, 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.
