2 Nephi 17:7–9

Thus saith the Lord God:

“It shall not stand,
neither shall it come to pass.

“For the head of Syria is Damascus,
and the head of Damascus, Rezin;
and within three score and five years
shall Ephraim be broken that it be not a people.

“And the head of Ephraim is Samaria,
and the head of Samaria is Remaliah’s son.

“If ye will not believe
surely ye shall not be established.”
