2 Nephi 7:3

I clothe the heavens with blackness,

and I make sackcloth their covering.

2 Nephi 8:6

Lift up your eyes to the heavens,

and look upon the earth beneath;

for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke,

and the earth shall wax old like a garment;

and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner.

But my salvation shall be forever,

and my righteousness shall not be abolished.

2 Nephi 8:13

And forgettest the Lord thy maker,

that hath stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth,

and hast feared continually every day, because of the fury of the oppressor,

as if he were ready to destroy?

And where is the fury of the oppressor?

2 Nephi 8:16

And I have put my words in thy mouth,

and have covered thee in the shadow of mine hand,

that I may plant the heavens and lay the foundations of the earth,

and say unto Zion: Behold, thou art my people.
