13:20 The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands,
and the tablets, and the ear-rings;
13:21 The rings, and nose jewels;
13:22 The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the
wimples, and the crisping-pins;
13:23 The glasses, and the fine linen, and hoods, and the veils.
13:24 And it shall come to pass, instead of sweet smell there shall be
stink; and instead of a girdle, a rent; and instead of well set hair,
baldness; and instead of a stomacher, a girding of sackcloth; burning
instead of beauty.
13:25 Thy men shall fall by the sword and thy mighty in the war.
13:26 And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she shall be desolate,
and shall sit upon the ground.
2 Nephi Chapter 14
14:1 And in that day, seven women shall take hold of one man, saying:
We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel; only let us be
called by thy name to take away our reproach.
14:2 In that day shall the branch of the Lord be beautiful and
glorious; the fruit of the earth excellent and comely to them that are
escaped of Israel.
14:3 And it shall come to pass, they that are left in Zion and remain
in Jerusalem shall be called holy, every one that is written among the
living in Jerusalem—
14:4 When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of
Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst
thereof by the spirit of judgment and by the spirit of burning.
14:5 And the Lord will create upon every dwelling-place of mount Zion,
and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day and the shining of a
flaming fire by night; for upon all the glory of Zion shall be a
defence.
14:6 And there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the daytime from
the heat, and for a place of refuge, and a covert from storm and from
rain.
2 Nephi Chapter 15
15:1 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.
15:2 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.
15:3 And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I
pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard.
15:4 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.
15:5 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;
15:6 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.
