2 Nephi 8:39 For behold, the Lord, the Lord of Hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the
staff - The whole
staff of bread and the whole stay of water,
2 Nephi 9:64 For Thou hast broken the yoke of his burden and the
staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor,
2 Nephi 9:96 Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith? Shall the saw magnify itself against him that shaketh it? As if the rod should shake itself against them that lift it up! Or as if the
staff should lift up itself as if it were no wood!
2 Nephi 9:105 Therefore, thus saith the Lord God of Hosts: "O My people that dwellest in Zion, Be not afraid of the Assyrian; He shall smite thee with a rod and shall lift up his
staff against thee after the manner of Egypt.
