and thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders.

2 Nephi 6:11

Wherefore, after they are driven to and fro,

for thus saith the angel,

many shall be afflicted in the flesh,

and shall not be suffered to perish, because of the prayers of the faithful;

they shall be scattered, and smitten, and hated;

nevertheless, the Lord will be merciful unto them,

that when they shall come to the knowledge of their Redeemer,

they shall be gathered together again to the lands of their inheritance.

Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away,

and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered;

for the Mighty God shall deliver his covenant people.

I will contend with them that contendeth with thee —

Yea, for thus saith the Lord:

Have I put thee away, or have I cast thee off forever?

For thus saith the Lord:

Where is the bill of your mother's divorcement?

To whom have I put thee away,

or to which of my creditors have I sold you?

Yea, to whom have I sold you?

Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves,

and for your transgressions is your mother put away.

thus saith thy Lord, the Lord

and thy God pleadeth the cause of his people;

behold, I have taken out of thine hand the cup of trembling,

the dregs of the cup of my fury;

thou shalt no more drink it again.
