Neither hurt nor destroy


2 Nephi 21:9 -- "They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea."

Neither hurt nor destroy, neither chide nor complain;
yea, this is the promise the scriptures contain.
When the first shall be last and the last shall be first,
and for righteousness none will needlessly thirst.
 Am I bringing that day closer to its fruition,
or do I persist in the works of perdition?
Cover me, Lord, with the waters of insight,
that I may win when with fear I do sin fight!
