Ether 11

(Chapter Heading)
A Wars, dissensions, and wickedness dominate Jaredite life—
B Their prophets predict the utter destruction of the Jaredites
B unless they repent—
A The people reject the words of the prophets.

AND there came also in the days of Com many

A prophets, and prophesied of the
B destruction of that
C great people
D except they should repent, and turn unto the Lord, and forsake their murders and wickedness. 2 And it came to pass that
E the prophets were rejected by the people, and
F they fled unto Com for protection, for
G the people sought to destroy them. 3 And they prophesied unto Com many things;
H and he was blessed in
I all the remainder of his days. 4 And
I he lived to a good old age, and begat Shiblom;
H and Shiblom reigned in his stead. And
G the brother of Shiblom rebelled against him, and
F there began to be an exceedingly great war in all the land. 5 And it came to pass that the brother of Shiblom caused that
E all the prophets who prophesied of the
D destruction of
C the people should be put to death; 6 And there was
B great calamity in all the land, for
A they had testified that a great curse should come upon the land, and also upon
A the people, and that
B there should be a great destruction among them, such an one as never had been upon the face of the earth, and
C their bones should become as heaps of earth upon the face of the land except they should repent of their wickedness.7
D And they hearkened not unto the voice of the Lord,
D because of their wicked combinations; wherefore,
C there began to be wars and contentions in all the land, and also many famines and pestilences, insomuch that
B there was a great destruction, such an one as never had been known upon the face of the earth; and all this came to pass in the days of Shiblom. 8 And
A the people began to repent of their iniquity; and inasmuch as they did the Lord did have mercy on them. 9 And it came to pass that
A Shiblom was slain, and Seth was brought into captivity, and did dwell in captivity all his days. 10 And it came to pass that
B Ahah, his son,
C did obtain the kingdom; and he did reign over the people all his days.
D And he did do all manner of iniquity in his days, by which he did cause the shedding of much blood; and few were his days. 11 And Ethem, being a
descendant of Ahah, did obtain the
E kingdom; and he also did do that which was wicked in his days. 12 And it came to pass that in the days of Ethem
F there came many prophets, and prophesied again unto the people; yea, they did prophesy that
G the Lord
H would utterly destroy them from off the face of the earth except they repented of their iniquities. 13 And it came to pass that

I the people hardened their hearts, and would not hearken unto their words; and
J the prophets mourned and withdrew from among the people. 14 And it came to pass that Ethem did execute judgment in wickedness all
his days; and he begat
K Moron. And it came to pass that
L Moron did reign in his stead; and
M Moron did that which was wicked before the Lord. 15 And it came to pass that
N there arose a rebellion among the people, because of that secret combination which was built up to get power and gain;
O and there arose a mighty man among them in iniquity, and gave battle unto Moron, in which
P he did overthrow the half of the kingdom; and he did maintain the half of the kingdom for many years. 16 And it
came to pass that
P Moron did overthrow him, and did obtain the kingdom again. 17 And it came to pass that
O there arose another mighty man; and he was a descendant of the brother of Jared. 18 And it came to pass that
N he did overthrow Moron and obtain the kingdom; wherefore, Moron dwelt in captivity all the remainder of his days; and he
begat
M Coriantor. 19 And it came to pass that
L Coriantor dwelt in captivity all his days. 20 And in the days of
K Coriantor there also came many
J prophets, and prophesied of great and marvelous things, and
I cried repentance unto the people, and
H except they should repent the Lord God would execute judgment against them to their utter destruction; 21 And that the
G Lord God would
F send or bring forth another people to possess
E the land, by his power, after the manner by which he brought their fathers. 22 And
D they did reject all the words of the prophets,
C because of their secret society and wicked abominations. 23 And it came to pass that
B Coriantor begat
A Ether, and he died, having dwelt in captivity all his days.
