saith the Lord, thou shalt surely clothe thee with them all, as

       with an ornament, and bind them on even as a bride.

      1 Nephi 21:19

       19 For thy waste and thy desolate places, and the land of thy

       destruction, shall even now be too narrow by reason of the

       inhabitants; and they that swallowed thee up shall be far away.

      1 Nephi 21:20

       20 The children whom thou shalt have, after thou hast lost the

       first, shall again in thine ears say: The place is too strait for

       me; give place to me that I may dwell.

      1 Nephi 21:21

       21 Then shalt thou say in thine heart: Who hath begotten me

       these, seeing I have lost my children, and am desolate, a

       captive, and removing to and fro? And who hath brought up these?

      Behold, I was left alone; these, where have they been?

      1 Nephi 21:22

       22 Thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I will lift up mine hand to

       the Gentiles, and set up my standard to the people; and they

       shall bring thy sons in their arms, and thy daughters shall be

       carried upon their shoulders.

      1 Nephi 21:23

       23 And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy

       nursing mothers; they shall bow down to thee with their face

       towards the earth, and lick up the dust of thy feet; and thou

       shalt know that I am the Lord; for they shall not be ashamed that

       wait for me.

      1 Nephi 21:24

       24 For shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful

       captives delivered?

      1 Nephi 21:25

       25 But thus saith the Lord, even the captives of the mighty

       shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be

       delivered; for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee,

       and I will save thy children.

      1 Nephi 21:26

       26 And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh;

       they shall be drunken with their own blood as with sweet wine;

       and all flesh shall know that I, the Lord, am thy Savior and thy

       Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.

      1 Nephi 22 Chapter 22

      1 Nephi 22:1

       1 And now it came to pass that after I, Nephi, had read these

       things which were engraven upon the plates of brass, my brethren

       came unto me and said unto me: What meaneth these things which ye

       have read? Behold, are they to be understood according to things

       which are spiritual, which shall come to pass according to the

       spirit and not the flesh?

      1 Nephi 22:2

       2 And I, Nephi, said unto them: Behold they were manifest unto

       the prophet by the voice of the Spirit; for by the Spirit are all

       things made known unto the prophets, which shall come upon the

       children of men according to the flesh.

      1 Nephi 22:3

       3 Wherefore, the things of which I have read are things

       pertaining to things both temporal and spiritual; for it appears

       that the house of Israel, sooner or later, will be scattered upon

       all the face of the earth, and also among all nations.

      1 Nephi 22:4

       4 And behold, there are many who are already lost from the

       knowledge of those who are at Jerusalem. Yea, the more part of

       all the tribes have been led away; and they are scattered to and

       fro upon the isles of the sea; and whither they are none of us

       knoweth, save that we know that they have been led away.

      1 Nephi 22:5

       5 And since they have been led away, these things have been

       prophesied concerning them, and also concerning all those who

       shall hereafter be scattered and be confounded, because of the

       Holy One of Israel; for against him will they harden their

       hearts; wherefore, they shall be scattered among all nations and

       shall be hated of all men.

      1 Nephi 22:6

       6 Nevertheless, after they shall be nursed by the Gentiles, and

       the Lord has lifted up his hand upon the Gentiles and set them up

       for a standard, and their children have been carried in their

       arms, and their daughters have been carried upon their shoulders,

       behold these things of which are spoken are temporal; for thus

       are the covenants of the Lord with our fathers; and it meaneth us

       in the days to come, and also all our brethren who are of the

       house of Israel.

      1 Nephi 22:7

       7 And it meaneth that the time cometh that after all the house

       of Israel have been scattered and confounded, that the Lord God

       will raise up a mighty nation among the Gentiles, yea, even upon

       the face of this land; and by them shall our seed be scattered.

      1 Nephi 22:8

       8 And after our seed is scattered the Lord God will proceed to

       do a marvelous work among the Gentiles, which shall be of great

       worth unto our seed; wherefore, it is likened unto their being

       nourished by the Gentiles and being carried in their arms and

       upon their shoulders.

      1 Nephi 22:9

       9 And it shall also be of worth unto the Gentiles; and not only

       unto the Gentiles but unto all the house of Israel, unto the

       making known of the covenants of the Father of heaven unto

       Abraham, saying: In thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth

       be blessed.

      1 Nephi 22:10

       10 And I would, my brethren, that ye should know that all the

       kindreds of the earth cannot be blessed unless he shall make bare

       his arm in the eyes of the nations.

      1 Nephi 22:11

       11 Wherefore, the Lord God will proceed to make bare his arm in

       the eyes of all the nations, in bringing about his covenants and

       his gospel unto those who are of the house of Israel.

      1 Nephi 22:12

       12 Wherefore, he will bring them again out of captivity, and

       they shall be gathered together to the lands of their

       inheritance; and they shall be brought out of obscurity and out
