15:26 And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will
hiss unto them from the end of the earth; and behold, they shall come
with speed swiftly; none shall be weary nor stumble among them.
15:27 None shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their
loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken;
15:28 Whose arrows shall be sharp, and all their bows bent, and their
horses’ hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a
whirlwind, their roaring like a lion.
15:29 They shall roar like young lions; yea, they shall roar, and lay
hold of the prey, and shall carry away safe, and none shall deliver.
15:30 And in that day they shall roar against them like the roaring of
the sea; and if they look unto the land, behold, darkness and sorrow,
and the light is darkened in the heavens thereof.
2 Nephi Chapter 16
16:1 In the year that king Uzziah died, I saw also the Lord sitting
upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.
16:2 Above it stood the seraphim; each one had six wings; with twain he
covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he
did fly.
16:3 And one cried unto another, and said: Holy, holy, holy, is the
Lord of Hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory.
16:4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried,
and the house was filled with smoke.
16:5 Then said I: Wo is unto me! for I am undone; because I am a man of
unclean lips; and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for
mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of Hosts.
16:6 Then flew one of the seraphim unto me, having a live coal in his
hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar;
16:7 And he laid it upon my mouth, and said: Lo, this has touched thy
lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.
16:8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: Whom shall I send, and
who will go for us? Then I said: Here am I; send me.
16:9 And he said: Go and tell this people—Hear ye indeed, but they
understood not; and see ye indeed, but they perceived not.
16:10 Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and
shut their eyes—lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their
ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted and be healed.
16:11 Then said I: Lord, how long? And he said: Until the cities be
wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be
utterly desolate;
16:12 And the Lord have removed men far away, for there shall be a
great forsaking in the midst of the land.
16:13 But yet there shall be a tenth, and they shall return, and shall
be eaten, as a teil-tree, and as an oak whose substance is in them when
they cast their leaves; so the holy seed shall be the substance
thereof.
