12:21 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.
12:22 Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for wherein
is he to be accounted of?
2 Nephi Chapter 13
13:1 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—
13:2 The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet,
and the prudent, and the ancient;
13:3 The captain of fifty, and the honorable man, and the counselor,
and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator.
13:4 And I will give children unto them to be their princes, and babes
shall rule over them.
13:5 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.
13:6 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—
13:7 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.
13:8 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.
13:9 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!
13:10 Say unto the righteous that it is well with them; for they shall
eat the fruit of their doings.
13:11 Wo unto the wicked, for they shall perish; for the reward of
their hands shall be upon them!
13:12 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.
13:13 The Lord standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people.
13:14 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.
13:15 What mean ye? Ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of
the poor, saith the Lord God of Hosts.
13:16 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—
13:17 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.
13:18 In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling
ornaments, and cauls, and round tires like the moon;
13:19 The chains and the bracelets, and the mufflers;
