1 Nephi 21:13

Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth;

for the feet of those who are in the east shall be established;

and break forth into singing, O mountains;

for they shall be smitten no more;

for the Lord hath comforted his people,

and will have mercy upon his afflicted.

1 Nephi 21:14

But, behold, Zion hath said:

The Lord hath forsaken me,

and my Lord hath forgotten me —

but he will show that he hath not.

1 Nephi 21:15

For can a woman forget her sucking child,

that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb?

Yea, they may forget,

yet will I not forget thee, O house of Israel.

1 Nephi 21:16

Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands;

thy walls are continually before me.

1 Nephi 21:17

Thy children shall make haste against thy destroyers;

and they that made thee waste shall go forth of thee.

1 Nephi 21:18

Lift up thine eyes round about and behold;

all these gather themselves together,

and they shall come to thee.

And as I live, 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

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

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

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

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

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

For shall the prey be taken from the mighty,

or the lawful captives delivered?

1 Nephi 21:25

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

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.
