Every one that is proud shall be thrust through; yea, and every one that is joined to the wicked shall fall by the sword.
2 Nephi 23:15
Isaiah 13:15
The 2 Nephi version is more clear—Isaiah (KJV) shows it as “every one that is found shall be thrust through.”
The Lord promises “mine anger is not upon them that rejoice in my highness” (verse 3) so we have a clear instruction for how to avoid being thrust through or falling by the sword—rejoice in His highness and distance ourselves from pride and from the wicked.
