2 Nephi 16:11–13

And he said:

Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant,

And the houses without man,
and the land be utterly desolate;

And the Lord have removed men far away,
for there shall be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.

But yet there shall be a tenth,
and they shall return,
and shall be eaten,
as a teil–tree,
and as an oak whose substance
is in them when they cast their leaves;
so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof.
