Ether 11
Chapter 11
Ether 11:1 1 And there came also in the days of
Com many prophets, and
prophesied of the destruction of that great people
except they
should repent, and turn unto the Lord, and forsake
their murders
and wickedness.
Ether 11:2 2 And it came to pass that the prophets
were rejected by the
people, and they fled unto Com for protection, for
the people
sought to destroy them.
Ether 11:3 3 And they prophesied unto Com many things;
and he was blessed
in all the remainder of his days.
Ether 11:4 4 And he lived to a good old age, and
begat Shiblom; and Shiblom
reigned in his stead. And the brother of Shiblom
rebelled
against him, and there began to be an exceedingly
great war in
all the land.
Ether 11:5 5 And it came to pass that the brother
of Shiblom caused that
all the prophets who prophesied of the destruction
of the people
should be put to death;
Ether 11:6 6 And there was great calamity in all the land, for they had testified that a great curse should come upon the land, and also upon the people, and that there should be a great destruction among them, such an one as never had been upon the face of the earth, and their bones should become as heaps of earth upon the face of the land except they should repent of their wickedness.
Ether 11:7 7 And they hearkened not unto the voice of the Lord, because of their wicked combinations; wherefore, there began to be wars and contentions in all the land, and also many famines and pestilences, insomuch that 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.
Ether 11:8 8 And the people began to repent of their
iniquity; and inasmuch
as they did the Lord did have mercy on them.
Ether 11:9 9 And it came to pass that Shiblom was
slain, and Seth was
brought into captivity, and did dwell in captivity
all his days.
Ether 11:10 10 And it came to pass that Ahah, his
son, did obtain the
kingdom; and he did reign over the people all his
days. 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.
Ether 11:11 11 And Ethem, being a descendant of
Ahah, did obtain the
kingdom; and he also did do that which was wicked
in his days.
Ether 11:12 12 And it came to pass that in the days
of Ethem there came many
prophets, and prophesied again unto the people; yea,
they did
prophesy that the Lord would utterly destroy them
from off the
face of the earth except they repented of their iniquities.
Ether 11:13 13 And it came to pass that the people
hardened their hearts,
and would not hearken unto their words; and the prophets
mourned
and withdrew from among the people.
Ether 11:14 14 And it came to pass that Ethem did
execute judgment in
wickedness all his days; and he begat Moron.
And it came to pass
that Moron did reign in his stead; and Moron did that
which was
wicked before the Lord.
