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.
