2 Nephi 24:21-23

Prepare slaughter for his children
for the iniquities of their fathers,
that they do not rise,
nor possess the land,
nor fill the face of the world with cities.

For I will rise up against them,
saith the Lord of Hosts,
and cut off from Babylon the name,
and remnant,
and son, and nephew,
saith the Lord.

I will also make it a possession for the bittern,
and pools of water;
and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction,
saith the Lord of Hosts.
