2 Nephi 15:26–30

And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far,
and will hiss unto them from the end of the earth;
and behold, they shall come with speed swiftly;
none shall be weary nor stumble among them.

None shall slumber nor sleep;
neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed,
nor the latchet of their shoes be broken;

Whose arrows shall be sharp,
and all their bows bent,
and their horses’ hoofs shall be counted like flint,
and their wheels like a whirlwind,
their roaring like a lion.

They shall roar like young lions;
yea, they shall roar,
and lay hold of the prey,
and shall carry away safe,
and none shall deliver.

And in that day they shall roar
against them like the roaring of the sea;
and if they look unto the land,
behold, darkness and sorrow,
and the light is darkened in the heavens thereof.
