2 Nephi 20
The destruction of Assyria is a type of the destruction of the wicked at the Second Coming—Few people will be left after the Lord comes again—The remnant of Jacob will return in that day—Compare Isaiah 10. About 559–545 B.C.
a
Wo
unto
them
that
decree
b
unrighteous
decrees,
and
that
write
grievousness
which
they
have
prescribed;
2 To
turn
away
the
needy
from
judgment,
and
to
take
away
the
right
from
the
a
poor
of
my
people,
that
b
widows
may
be
their
prey,
and
that
they
may
rob
the
fatherless!
3 And
what
will
ye
do
in
the
day
of
visitation,
and
in
the
desolation
which
shall
come
from
far?
to
whom
will
ye
flee
for
help?
and
where
will
ye
leave
your
glory?
4 Without
me
they
shall
bow
down
under
the
prisoners,
and
they
shall
fall
under
the
slain.
For
all
this
his
anger
is
not
turned
away,
but
his
hand
is
stretched
out
still.
5 O
Assyrian,
the
rod
of
mine
anger,
and
the
staff
in
their
hand
is
a
their
indignation.
6 I
will
send
him
a
against
a
hypocritical
nation,
and
against
the
people
of
my
wrath
will
I
give
him
a
charge
to
take
the
spoil,
and
to
take
the
prey,
and
to
tread
them
down
like
the
mire
of
the
streets.
7 Howbeit
he
meaneth
not
so,
neither
doth
his
heart
think
so;
but
in
his
heart
it
is
to
destroy
and
cut
off
nations
not
a
few.
8 For
he
saith:
Are
not
my
a
princes
altogether
kings?
9 Is
not
a
Calno
as
b
Carchemish?
Is
not
Hamath
as
Arpad?
Is
not
Samaria
as
c
Damascus?
10 As
a
my
hand
hath
founded
the
kingdoms
of
the
idols,
and
whose
graven
images
did
excel
them
of
Jerusalem
and
of
Samaria;
11 Shall
I
not,
as
I
have
done
unto
Samaria
and
her
a
idols,
so
do
to
Jerusalem
and
to
her
idols?
12 Wherefore
it
shall
come
to
pass
that
when
the
Lord
hath
performed
his
whole
work
upon
Mount
Zion
and
upon
Jerusalem,
I
will
punish
the
fruit
of
the
stout
heart
of
the
king
of
a
Assyria,
and
the
glory
of
his
high
looks.
13 For
a
he
saith:
By
the
strength
of
b
my
hand
and
by
my
wisdom
I
have
done
these
things;
for
I
am
prudent;
and
I
have
moved
the
borders
of
the
people,
and
have
robbed
their
treasures,
and
I
have
put
down
the
inhabitants
like
a
valiant
man;
14 And
my
hand
hath
found
as
a
nest
the
riches
of
the
people;
and
as
one
gathereth
eggs
that
are
left
have
I
gathered
all
the
earth;
and
there
was
none
that
moved
the
wing,
or
opened
the
mouth,
or
peeped.
15 Shall
the
a
ax
boast
itself
against
him
that
heweth
therewith?
Shall
the
saw
magnify
itself
against
him
that
shaketh
it?
As
if
the
rod
should
shake
itself
against
them
that
lift
it
up,
or
as
if
the
staff
should
lift
up
itself
as
if
it
were
no
wood!
16 Therefore
shall
the
Lord,
the
Lord
of
Hosts,
send
among
his
fat
ones,
leanness;
and
under
his
glory
he
shall
kindle
a
burning
like
the
burning
of
a
fire.
17 And
the
light
of
Israel
shall
be
for
a
a
fire,
and
his
Holy
One
for
a
flame,
and
shall
burn
and
shall
devour
his
thorns
and
his
briers
in
one
day;
18 And
shall
consume
the
glory
of
his
forest,
and
of
his
fruitful
field,
both
soul
and
body;
and
they
shall
be
as
when
a
standard-bearer
fainteth.
19 And
the
a
rest
of
the
trees
of
his
forest
shall
be
few,
that
a
child
may
write
them.
20 And
it
shall
come
to
pass
in
that
day,
that
the
remnant
of
Israel,
and
such
as
are
escaped
of
the
a
house
of
Jacob,
shall
no
more
again
b
stay
upon
him
that
smote
them,
but
shall
stay
upon
the
Lord,
the
Holy
One
of
Israel,
in
truth.
21 The
a
remnant
shall
return,
yea,
even
the
remnant
of
Jacob,
unto
the
mighty
God.
22 For
though
thy
people
a
Israel
be
as
the
sand
of
the
sea,
yet
a
remnant
of
them
shall
b
return;
the
c
consumption
decreed
shall
overflow
with
righteousness.
23 For
the
Lord
God
of
Hosts
shall
make
a
a
consumption,
even
determined
in
all
the
land.
24 Therefore,
thus
saith
the
Lord
God
of
Hosts:
O
my
people
that
dwellest
in
Zion,
a
be
not
afraid
of
the
Assyrian;
he
shall
smite
thee
with
a
rod,
and
shall
lift
up
his
staff
against
thee,
after
the
b
manner
of
Egypt.
25 For
yet
a
very
little
while,
and
the
a
indignation
shall
cease,
and
mine
anger
in
their
destruction.
26 And
the
Lord
of
Hosts
shall
a
stir
up
a
scourge
for
him
according
to
the
slaughter
of
b
Midian
at
the
rock
of
Oreb;
and
as
his
rod
was
upon
the
sea
so
shall
he
lift
it
up
after
the
manner
of
c
Egypt.
27 And
it
shall
come
to
pass
in
that
day
that
his
a
burden
shall
be
taken
away
from
off
thy
shoulder,
and
his
yoke
from
off
thy
neck,
and
the
yoke
shall
be
destroyed
because
of
the
b
anointing.
28
a
He
is
come
to
Aiath,
he
is
passed
to
Migron;
at
Michmash
he
hath
laid
up
his
carriages.
29 They
are
gone
over
the
a
passage;
they
have
taken
up
their
lodging
at
b
Geba;
Ramath
is
afraid;
c
Gibeah
of
Saul
is
fled.
30 Lift
up
the
voice,
O
daughter
of
a
Gallim;
cause
it
to
be
heard
unto
Laish,
O
poor
b
Anathoth.
31 Madmenah
is
removed;
the
inhabitants
of
Gebim
gather
themselves
to
flee.
32 As
yet
shall
he
remain
at
a
Nob
that
day;
he
shall
shake
his
hand
against
the
mount
of
the
daughter
of
Zion,
the
hill
of
Jerusalem.
33 Behold,
the
Lord,
the
Lord
of
Hosts
shall
lop
the
bough
with
terror;
and
the
a
high
ones
of
stature
shall
be
b
hewn
down;
and
the
c
haughty
shall
be
humbled.
34 And
he
shall
cut
down
the
thickets
of
the
forests
with
iron,
and
Lebanon
shall
fall
by
a
mighty
one.
