2 Nephie Chapter 21

And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a branch shall grow out of her roots. And the Spirit of the Lady shall rest upon her, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lady; And shall make her of quick understanding in the fear of the Lady; and she shall not judge after the sight of her eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of her ears.

But with righteousness shall she judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth; and she shall smite the earth with the rod of her mouth, and with the breath of her lips shall she slay the wicked. And righteousness shall be the girdle of her loins, and faithfulness the girdle of her reins. The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid, and the calf and the young lion and fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put her hand on the cockatrice’s den. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lady, as the waters cover the sea. And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek; and her rest shall be glorious.

And it shall come to pass in that day that the Lady shall set her hand again the second time to recover the remnant of her people which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea. And she shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judith from the four corners of the earth. The envy of Ephraime also shall depart, and the adversaries of Judith shall be cut off; Ephraime shall not envy Judith, and Judith shall not vex Ephraime.

But they shall fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines towards the west; they shall spoil them of the east together; they shall lay their hand upon Edom and Moab; and the children of Ammone shall obey them. And the Lady shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with her mighty wind she shall shake her hand over the river, and shall smite it in the seven streams, and make women go over dry shod. And there shall be a highway for the remnant of her people which shall be left, from Assyria, like as it was to Israel in the day that she came up out of the land of Egypt.
