2 Nephi 20:12–14

Wherefore it shall come to pass that when the Lord hath performed his whole work upon mount Zion and upon Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks.

For he saith:

“By the strength of my hand and by my wisdom
I have done these things;
for I am prudent.

And I have moved the borders of the people,
and have robbed their treasures,
and I have put down the inhabitants like a valiant man;

“And my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the people.

And as one gathereth eggs
that are left have I gathered all the earth.

And there was none that moved the wing,
or opened the mouth, or peeped.”
