2 Nephi 17:8
8 For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus,
Rezin; and within three score and five years shall Ephraim be
broken that it be not a people.
2 Nephi 17:9
9 And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is
Remaliah's son. If ye will not believe surely ye shall not be
established.
2 Nephi 17:10
10 Moreover, the Lord spake again unto Ahaz, saying:
2 Nephi 17:11
11 Ask thee a sign of the Lord thy God; ask it either in the
depths, or in the heights above.
2 Nephi 17:12
12 But Ahaz said: I will not ask, neither will I tempt the Lord.
2 Nephi 17:13
13 And he said: Hear ye now, O house of David; is it a small
thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my God also?
2 Nephi 17:14
14 Therefore, the Lord himself shall give you a sign—Behold, a
virgin shall conceive, and shall bear a son, and shall call his
name Immanuel.
2 Nephi 17:15
15 Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the
evil and to choose the good.
2 Nephi 17:16
16 For before the child shall know to refuse the evil and choose
the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both
her kings.
2 Nephi 17:17
17 The Lord shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon
thy father's house, days that have not come from the day that
Ephraim departed from Judah, the king of Assyria.
2 Nephi 17:18
18 And it shall come to pass in that day that the Lord shall
hiss for the fly that is in the uttermost part of Egypt, and for
the bee that is in the land of Assyria.
2 Nephi 17:19
19 And they shall come, and shall rest all of them in the
desolate valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, and upon all
thorns, and upon all bushes.
2 Nephi 17:20
20 In the same day shall the Lord shave with a razor that is
hired, by them beyond the river, by the king of Assyria, the
head, and the hair of the feet; and it shall also consume the
beard.
2 Nephi 17:21
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, a man shall nourish a
young cow and two sheep;
2 Nephi 17:22
22 And it shall come to pass, for the abundance of milk they
shall give he shall eat butter; for butter and honey shall every
one eat that is left in the land.
2 Nephi 17:23
23 And it shall come to pass in that day, every place shall be,
where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silverlings,
which shall be for briers and thorns.
2 Nephi 17:24
24 With arrows and with bows shall men come thither, because all
the land shall become briers and thorns.
2 Nephi 17:25
25 And all hills that shall be digged with the mattock, there
shall not come thither the fear of briers and thorns; but it
shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and the treading of
lesser cattle.
2 Nephi 18 Chapter 18
2 Nephi 18:1
1 Moreover, the word of the Lord said unto me: Take thee a great
roll, and write in it with a man's pen, concerning
Maher-shalal-hash-baz.
2 Nephi 18:2
2 And I took unto me faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the
priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.
2 Nephi 18:3
3 And I went unto the prophetess; and she conceived and bare a
son. Then said the Lord to me: Call his name,
Maher-shalal-hash-baz.
2 Nephi 18:4
4 For behold, the child shall not have knowledge to cry, My
father, and my mother, before the riches of Damascus and the
spoil of Samaria shall be taken away before the king of Assyria.
2 Nephi 18:5
5 The Lord spake also unto me again, saying:
2 Nephi 18:6
6 Forasmuch as this people refuseth the waters of Shiloah that
go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah's son;
2 Nephi 18:7
7 Now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up upon them the
waters of the river, strong and many, even the king of Assyria
and all his glory; and he shall come up over all his channels,
and go over all his banks.
2 Nephi 18:8
8 And he shall pass through Judah; he shall overflow and go
over, he shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of
his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel.
2 Nephi 18:9
9 Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in
pieces; and give ear all ye of far countries; gird yourselves,
and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall
be broken in pieces.
2 Nephi 18:10
10 Take counsel together, and it shall come to naught; speak the
word, and it shall not stand; for God is with us.
2 Nephi 18:11
11 For the Lord spake thus to me with a strong hand, and
instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people,
saying:
2 Nephi 18:12
12 Say ye not, A confederacy, to all to whom this people shall
say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid.
2 Nephi 18:13
13 Sanctify the Lord of Hosts himself, and let him be your fear,
and let him be your dread.
2 Nephi 18:14
14 And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of
stumbling, and for a rock of offense to both the houses of
