2 Nephi 19:4

For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden,

and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor.

O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger,

and the staff in their hand is their indignation.

2 Nephi 20:15

Shall the ax boast itself against him that heweth therewith?

Shall the saw magnify itself against him that shaketh it?

As if the rod should shake itself against them that lift it up,

or as if the staff should lift up itself as if it were no wood!
