  Speaker 1: Hether, chapter ten. And it came to pass that Chez,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: who was a descendant of Hath, for Hath had perished
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: by the famine, and all his household save it were Chez.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Wherefore Chez began to build up again a broken people.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: And it came to pass that Chez did remember the
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: destruction of his fathers, and he did build up a
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: righteous kingdom, for he remembered what the Lord had done
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: in bringing Jared and his brother across the deep, and
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: he did walk in the ways of the Lord, and
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: he begat sons and daughters, and his eldest son, whose
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: name was Chez, did rebel against him. Nevertheless, Chez was
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: smitten by the hand of a robber because of his
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: exceeding riches, which brought peace again unto his father. And
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: it came to pass that his father did build up
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: many cities upon the face of the land, and the
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: people began again to spread over all the face of
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: the land. And Chez did live to an exceedingly old age,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: and he begat Ripleykish, and he died, and Ripleykish reigned
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: in his stead. And it came to pass that Riplikish
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: did not do that which was right in the sight
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: of the Lord. For he did have many wives and concubines,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: and did lay that upon men's shoulders, which was grievous
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: to be borne. Yea, he did tax them with heavy taxes.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: And with the taxes he did build many spacious buildings,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: and he did erect him an exceedingly beautiful throne. And
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: he did build many prisons. And whoso would not be
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: subject unto taxes, he did cast into prison, and whoso
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: was not able to pay taxes, he did cast into prison.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: And he did cause that they should labor continually for
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: their support. And whoso refused to labor, he did cause
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: to be put to death. Wherefore he did obtain all
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: his fine work Yea, even his fine gold, he did
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: cause to be refined in prison, and all manner of
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: fine workmanship he did cause to be wrought in prison.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: And it came to pass that he did afflict the
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: people with his hortems and abominations. And when he had
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: reigned for the space of forty and two years, the
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: people did rise up in rebellion against him, and there
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: began to be war again in the land, insomuch that
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: ripley Kish was killed and his descendants were driven out
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: of the land, and it came to pass after the
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: space of many years, Morianton, he being a descendant of
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: ripley Kish, gathered together an army of outcasts and went
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: forth and gave battle unto the people, and he gained
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: power over many cities, and the war became exceedingly sore,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: and did last for the space of many years. And
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: he did gain power over all the land, and did
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: establish himself king over all the land. And after that
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: he had established himself king, he did ease the burden
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: of the people, by which he did gain favor in
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: the eyes of the people, and they did anoint him
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: to be their king. And he did do justice unto
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: the people, but not unto himself, because of his many hortems,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: wherefore he was cut off from the presence of the Lord.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: And it came to pass that Moriantin built up many cities,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: and the people both became exceedingly rich under his reign,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: both in buildings and in gold and silver, and in
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: raising grain, and in flocks and herds and such things
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: which had been restored unto them. And mari Anton did
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: live to an exceedingly great age. And then he begat Kim,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: and Kim did reign in the stead of his father,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: and he did reign eight years, and his father died,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: and it came to pass that Kim did not reign
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: in righteousness, wherefore he was not favored of the Lord.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: And his brother did rise up in rebellion against him,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: by which he did bring him into captivity. And he
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: did remain in captivity all his days, and he begat
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: sons and daughters in captivity, and in his old age
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: he begat Levi, and he died, and it came to
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: pass that Levi did serve in captivity after the death
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: of his father, for the space of forty and two years,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: and he did make war against the king of the land,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: by which he did obtain unto himself the kingdom. And
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: after he had obtained unto himself the kingdom, he did
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: that which was right in the side of the Lord.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: And the people did prosper in the land. And he
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: did live to a good old age and begat sons
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: and daughters. And he also begat Koram, whom he anointed
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: king in his stead. And it came to pass that
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Koram did that which was good in the sight of
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: the Lord all his days, and he begat many sons
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: and daughters. And after he had seen many days, he
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: did pass away, even like unto the rest of the earth.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: And Kish reigned in his dead. And it came to
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: pass that Kish passed away also, and Lib reigned in
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: his stead. And it came to pass that Lib also
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: did that which was good in the sight of the Lord.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: And in the days of Lib, the poisonous serpents were destroyed.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Wherefore they did go into the land southward to hunt
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: food for the people of the land, for the land
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: was covered with animals of the forest. And Lib also
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: himself became a great hunter. And they built a great
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: city by the narrow neck of land, by the place
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: where the sea divine the land. And they did preserve
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: the land southward for a wilderness to get game. And
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: the whole face of the land northward was covered with inhabitants.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: And they were exceedingly industrious. And they did buy and
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: sell and traffic one with another that they might get gain.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: And they did work in all manner of ore, and
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: they did make gold and silver, and iron and brass,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: and all manner of metals, and they did dig it
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: out of the earth. Wherefore they did cast up mighty
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: heaps of earth to get ore of gold and of silver,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: and of iron and of copper. And they did work
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: all manner of fine work, and they did have silks
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: and fine twined linen, and they did work all manner
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: of cloth, that they might clothe themselves from their nakedness.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: And they did make all manner of tools to till
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: the earth, both to plow and to sow, to reap
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: and to hoe, and also to thrash. And they did
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: make all manner of tools with which they did work
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: their beasts. And they did make all manner of weapons
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: of war, and they did work all manner of work,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: of exceedingly curious workmanship. And never could be a people
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: more blessed than were they, and more prospered by the
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: hand of the Lord. And they were in a land
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: that was choice above all lands, for the Lord had
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: spoken it. And it came to pass that lib did
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: live many years and begat sons and daughters, and he
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: also begat he Artham. And it came to pass that
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: hi Artham reigned in the stead of his father. And
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: when h Artham had reigned twenty and four years, behold
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: the kingdom was taken away from him, and he served
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: many years in captivity, yea, even all the remainder of
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: his days. And he begat Heth, and Heth lived in
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: captivity all his days, and Heth begat Erin, and Erin
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: dwelt in captivity all his days, and he begat Amnagada.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: And Amnagada also dwelt in captivity all his days, and
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: he begat Kriantum, and Kriantum dwelt in captivity all his days,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: and he begat Combe. And it came to pass that
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Coombe drew away the half of the kingdom, and he
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: reigned over the half of the kingdom forty and two years.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: And he went to battle against the king Amgd, and
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: they fought for the space of many years, during which
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: time Coomb gained power over Amgd and obtained power over
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: the remainder of the kingdom. And in the days of
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Comb there began to be robbers in the land, and
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: they adopted the old plans and administered oaths after the
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: manner of the ancients, and sought again to destroy the kingdom.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Now Coomb did fight against them much. Nevertheless, he did
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: not prevail against them ether chapter eleven. And there came
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: also in the days of Coombe, many prophets and prophesied
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: of the destruction of that great people, except they should
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: repent and turn unto the Lord and forsake their murders
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: in wickedness. And it came to pass that the prophets
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: were rejected by the people, and they fled unto Coomb
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: for protection, for the people sought to destroy them. And
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: they prophesied unto comb many things. And he was blessed
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: in all the remainder of his days, and he lived
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: to a good old age, and Begat Shiblam, and Shiblam
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: reigned in his stead, and the brother of Shiblam rebelled
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: against him, and there began to be an exceedingly great
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: war in all the land. And it came to pass
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: that the brother of Shiblam caused that all the prophets
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: who prophesied of the destruction of the people should be
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: put to death. And there was great calamity in all
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: the land, for they had testified that a great curse
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: should come upon the land and also upon the people,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: and that there should be a great destruction among them,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: such an one as never had been upon the face
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: of the earth, and their bones should become as heaps
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: of earth upon the face of the land, except they
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: should repent of their wickedness. And they hearkened not unto
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: the voice of the Lord, because of their wicked combinations.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Wherefore there began to be wars and content in all
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: the land, and also many famines and pestilences, insomuch that
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: there was a great destruction, such an one as never
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: had been known upon the face of the earth. And
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: all this came to pass in the days of Shiblam,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: and the people began to repent of their iniquity, and
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: inasmuch as they did, the Lord did have mercy on them.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: And it came to pass that Shiblam was slain, and
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Seth was brought into captivity, and did dwell in captivity
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: all his days. And it came to pass that Aha
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: his son, did obtain the kingdom, and he did reign
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: over the people all his days, and he did do
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: all manner of iniquity in his days, by which he
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: did cause the shedding of much blood. And few were
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: his days. And Etham, being a descendant of Aha, did
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: obtain the kingdom, and he also did do that which
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: was wicked in his days. And it came to pass
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: that in the days of Ethim, there came many prophets
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: and prophesied again unto the people. Yea, they did prophesy
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: that the Lord Lord would utterly destroy them from off
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: the face of the earth, except they repented of their iniquities.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: And it came to pass that the people hardened their
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: hearts and would not hearken unto their words. And the
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: prophets mourned and withdrew from among the people. And it
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: came to pass that Ethan did execute judgment and wickedness
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: all his days, and he begat Morun. And it came
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: to pass that Morn did reign in his stead, and
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Morun did that which was wicked before the Lord. And
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: it came to pass that there arose a rebellion among
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: the people because of that secret combination which was built
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: up to get power and gain. And there arose a
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: mighty man among them in iniquity and gave battle unto
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Morn in the which he did overthrow the half of
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: the kingdom. And he did maintain the half of the
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: kingdom for many years. And it came to pass that
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Morn did overthrow him and did obtain the kingdom again.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: And it came to pass that there arose another mighty man,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: and he was a descendant of the brother of Jared,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: And it came to pass that he did overthrow Morn
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: and obtain the king kingdom. Wherefore Morum dwelt in captivity
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: all the remainder of his days, and he begat Corianter.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: And it came to pass that Corianer dwelt in captivity
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: all his days. And in the days of Corianer, there
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: also came many prophets and prophesied of great and marvelous things,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: and cried repentance unto the people, And except they should repent,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: the Lord God would execute judgment against them, to their
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: utter destruction, and that the Lord God would send or
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: bring forth another people to possess the land by his power,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: after the manner by which he brought their fathers. And
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: they did reject all the words of the prophets because
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: of their secret society and wicked abominations. And it came
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: to pass that Corianter begat Ether, and he died, having
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: dwelt in captivity all his days. Ether chapter twelve. And
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: it came to pass that the days of Ether were
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: in the days of Koreantemer, and Kriantomer was king over
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: all the land, and there was a prophet of the Lord.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Wherefore Ether came forth in the days of Coriantomer and
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: began to prophesy unto the people, For he could not
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: be restrained because of the spirit of the Lord which
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: was in him. For he did cry from the morning
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: even until the going down of the sun, exhorting the
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: people to believe in God, unto repentance, lest they should
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: be destroyed, saying unto them that by faith all things
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: are fulfilled. Wherefore whoso believeth in God might with surety
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: hope for a better world. Yea even a place at
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: the right hand of God, which hope cometh. Of faith
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: maketh an anchor to the souls of men, which would
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: make them sure and steadfast, always abounding in good works,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: being led to glorify God. And it came to pass
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: that Ether did prophesy great and marvelous things unto the people,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: which they did not believe, because they saw them not.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: And now I Maroni would speak somewhat concerning these things.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: I would show and the world that faith is things
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: which are hoped for and not seen. Wherefore dispute not
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: because ye see not, for ye received no witness until
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: after the trial of your faith. For it was by
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: faith that Christ showed himself unto our fathers after he
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: had risen from the dead, And he showed not himself
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: unto them until after they had faith in him. Wherefore
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: it must needs be that some had faith in him.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: For he showed himself not unto the world, but because
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: of the faith of men. He has shown himself unto
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: the world, and glorified the name of the Father, and
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: prepared a way that thereby others might be partakers of
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: the heavenly gift, that they might hope for those things
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: which they have not seen. Wherefore ye may also have
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: hope and be partakers of the gift, if ye will
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: but have faith. Behold, it was by faith that they
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: of old were called after the holy order of God.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: Wherefore by faith was the law of Moses given. But
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: in the gift of his son hath God prepared a
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: more excellent way. And it is by faith that it
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: hath been fulfilled. For if there be no faith among
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: the children of men, God can do no miracle among them.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Wherefore he showed nought himself until after their faith. Behold,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: it was the faith of Alma and Amulek that caused
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: the prison to tumble to the earth. Behold, it was
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: the faith of Nephi and Lehi that wrought the change
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: upon the Lamanites, that they were baptized with fire and
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: with the Holy Ghost. Behold, it was the faith of
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: Ammon and his brethren which brought so great a miracle
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: among the Lamanites. Yea, and even all they who wrought
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: miracles wrought them by faith, even those who were before Christ,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: and also those who were after. And it was by
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: faith that the three disciples obtained a promise that they
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: should not taste of death. And they obtained not the
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: promise until after their faith. And neither at any time
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: hath any wrought miracles until after their faith. Wherefore they
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: first believed in the Son of God. And there were
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: many whose faith was so exceedingly strong even before Christ came,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: who could not be kept from within the veil, but
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: truly saw with their eyes the things which they had
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: beheld with an eye of faith, and they were glad.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: And behold, we have seen in this record that one
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: of these was the brother of Jared, For so great
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: was his faith in God, that when God put forth
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: his finger, he could not hide it from the sight
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: of the brother of Jared, because of his word which
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: he had spoken unto him, which word he had obtained
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: by faith. And after the brother of Jared had beheld
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: the finger of the Lord, because of the promise which
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: the brother of Jared had obtained by faith, the Lord
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: could not withhold anything from his sight. Therefore he showed
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: him all things, for he could no longer be kept
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: without the veil. And it is by faith that my
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: fathers have obtained the promise that these things should come
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: unto their brethren through the Gentiles. Therefore the Lord hath
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: commanded me, yea even Jesus Christ, And I said, unto him, Lord,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: the gentiles will mock at these things because of our
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: weakness in writing. For Lord, thou hast made us mighty
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: in word by faith, but thou hast not made us
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: mighty in writing. For thou hast made all this people
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: that they could speak much because of the holy ghost
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: which thou hast given them, And thou hast made us
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: that we could write but little because of the awkwardness
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: of our hands. Behold, thou hast not made us mighty
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: in writing, like unto the brother of Jared. For thou
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: madest him that the things which he wrote were mighty,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: even as thou art unto the overpowering of man to
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: read them. Thou hast also made our words powerful and great,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: even that we cannot write them. Wherefore, when we write,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: we behold our weakness and stumble because of the place
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: in of our words. And I fear lest the gentiles
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: shall mock at our words. And when I had said this,
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: the Lord spake unto me, saying, fools mock, but they
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: shall mourn. And my grace is sufficient for the meek,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: that they shall take no advantage of your weakness. And
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: if men come unto me, I will show unto them
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: be humble. And my grace is sufficient for all men
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: that humble themselves before me. For if they humble themselves
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: before me and have faith in me, then will I
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: make weak things become strong unto them. Behold, I will
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: show unto the gentiles their weakness, and I will show
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: unto them that faith, hope, and charity bringeth unto me
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: the fountain of all righteousness. And I Maron, I, having
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: heard these words, was comforted and said, O Lord, thy
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: righteous will be done. For I know that thou workest
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: unto the children of men according to their faith. For
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: the brother of Jared said, unto the mountain Zarin, remove,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: and it was removed. And if he had not had faith,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: it would not have moved. Wherefore thou workest after men
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: have faith. For thus didst thou manifest thyself unto thy disciples.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: For after they had faith and did speak in thy name,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Thou didst show thyself unto them in great power. And
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: I also remember that thou hast said that thou hast
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: prepared a house for man, yea even among the mansions
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: of my father, in which man might have a more
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: excellent hope. Wherefore man must hope or he cannot receive
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: an inheritance in the place which thou hast prepared. And
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: again I remember that thou hast said that thou hast
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: loved the world even unto the lane down of thy life,
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: for the world, that thou mightest take it again to
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: prepare a place for the children of men. And now
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: I know that this love which thou hast had for
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: the children of men is charity. Wherefore, except men shall
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: have charity, they cannot inherit that place which thou hast
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: prepared in the mansions of thy father. Wherefore I know
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: by this thing which thou hast said, that if the
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: gentiles have not charity because of our weakness, that thou
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: wilt prove them and take away their talent yea, even
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: that which they have received, and give unto them who
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: shall have more abundantly. And it came to pass that
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: I prayed unto the Lord that he would give unto
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: the gentiles grace, that they might have charity. And it
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: came to pass that the Lord said, unto me, if
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: they have not charity, it mattereth not unto thee thou
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: hast been faithful. Wherefore thy garments shall be made clean.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: And because thou hast seen thy weakness, thou shalt be
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: made strong, even unto the sitting down in the place
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: which I have prepared in the mansions of my father.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: And now I, Marona, bid farewell unto the gentiles, yea,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: and also unto my brethren, whom I love, until we
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: shall meet before the judgment seat of Christ, where all
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: men shall know that my garments are not spotted with
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: your blood. And then shall we know that I have
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: seen Jesus, and that he hath talked with me face
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: to face, and that he told me in plain humility,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: even as a man telleth another in mine own language,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: concerning these things. And only a few have I written,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: because of my weakness in writing. And now I would
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: commend you to seek this Jesus, of whom the prophets
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: and apostles have written, that the grace of God the Father,
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: and also the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: which beareth record of them, may be and abide in
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: you forever, Amen, Ether chapter thirteen. And now I, Marona,
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: I proceed to finish my record concerning the destruction of
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: the people of whom I have been writing. For Behold,
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: they rejected all the words of Ether, for he truly
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: told them of all things from the beginning of man,
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: and that after the waters had receded from off the
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: face of this land, it became a choice land above
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: all other lands, a chosen land of the Lord. Wherefore
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: the Lord would have that all men should serve him
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: who dwell upon the face thereof, And that it was
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: the place of the new Jerusalem, which should come down
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: out of Heaven, and the holy sanctuary of the Lord. Behold,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: ether saw the days of Christ, and he spake concerning
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: a new Jerusalem upon this land. And he spake also
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: concerning the House of Israel and the Jerusalem from whence
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Lehigh should come. After it should be destroyed, it should
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: be built up again a holy city unto the Lord.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Wherefore it could not be a new Jerusalem, for it
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: had been in a time of old. But it should
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: be built up again and become a holy city of
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: the Lord. And it should be built unto the House
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: of Israel. And that a new Jerusalem should be built
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: upon this land unto the remnant of the Seed of Joseph,
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: for which things there has been a type. For as
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Joseph brought his father down into the land of Egypt,
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: even so he died there. Wherefore the Lord brought a
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: remnant of the seed of Joseph out of the land
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: of Jerusalem, that he might be merciful, and to the
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: seed of Joseph, that they should perish, not, even as
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: he was merciful unto the father of Joseph, that he
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: should perish. Not. Wherefore the remnant of the House of
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Joseph shall be built upon this land, and it shall
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: be a land of their inheritance. And they shall build
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: up a holy city unto the Lord, like unto the
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: Jerusalem of old. And they shall no more be confounded
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: until the end come, when the earth shall pass away,
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: and there shall be a new Heaven and a new Earth,
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: and they shall be like unto the Old, save the
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Old have passed away, and all things have become new.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: And then cometh the New Jerusalem. And blest are they
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: who dwell therein, For it is they whose garments are
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: white through the blood of the Lamb. And they are
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: they who are numbered among the remnant of the Seat
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: of Joseph, who were of the House of Israel. And
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: then also cometh the Jerusalem of Old, and the inhabitants
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: thereof Blessed are they, for they have been washed in
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: the blood of the Lamb. And they are they who
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: were scattered and gathered in from the four quarters of
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: the earth and from the north countries, and are partakers
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: of the fulfilling of the covenant which God made with
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: their father Abraham. And when these things come, bringeth to
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: pass the scripture which saith. There are they who were first,
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: who shall be last. And there are they who were last,
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: who shall be first. And I was about to write more,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: but I am forbidden. But great and marvelous were the
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: prophecies of ether. But they esteemed him as not and
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: cast him out. And he hid himself in the cavity
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: of a rock by day, and by night he went forth,
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: viewing the things which should come upon the people. And
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: as he dwelt in the cavity of a rock, he
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: made the remainder of his record, viewing the destructions which
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: came upon the people by night. And it came to
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: pass that in that same year in which he was
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: cast out from among the people, there began to be
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: a great war among the people. For there were many
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: who rose up, who were mighty men, and sought to
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: destroy Kriantomer by their secret plans of wickedness, of which
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: hath been spoken. And now Koreantomer, having studied himself in
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: all the arts of war and all the cunning of
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: the world, wherefore he gave battle unto them who sought
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: to destroy him. But he repented not neither his fair
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: sons nor daughters, neither the fair sons and daughters of Kohor,
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: neither the fair sons and daughters of Korihor. And in
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: fine there were none of the fair sons and daughters
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: upon the face of the whole earth who repented of
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: their sins. Wherefore it came to pass that in the
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: first year that Ether dwelt in the cavity of a rock,
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: there were many people who were slain by the sword
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: of those secret combinations fighting against Koreantomer that they might
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: obtain the kingdom. And it came to pass that the
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: sons of Coriantomer fought much and bled much. And in
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: the second year the word of the Lord came to
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: Ether that he should go and prophesy unto Coriantomer, that
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: if he would repent and all his household, the Lord
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: would give unto him his kingdom and spare the people.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Otherwise they should be destroyed, and all his household save
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: it were himself, and he should only live to see
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: the fulfilling of the prophecies which had been spoken concerning
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: another people receiving the land for their inheritance, and Coriantomer
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: should receive a burial by them, and every soul should
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: be destroyed save it were Choriantomer. And it came to
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: pass that Koreantomer repented not neither his household, neither the people,
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: and the wars ceased not, and they sought to kill Ether,
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: but he fled from before them and hid again in
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: the cavity of the rock. And it came to pass
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: that there arose up Shrid, and he also gave battle
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: unto Koreantema, and he did beat him insomuch that in
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: the third year he did bring him into captivity. And
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: the son of Kriantemer, in the fourth year, did beat
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: Shard and did obtain the kingdom again unto their father.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: Now there began to be a war upon all the
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: face of the land, every man with his band, fighting
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: for that which he desired. And there were robbers and
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: in fine all manner of wickedness upon all the face
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: of the land. And it came to pass that Kriantimer
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: was exceedingly angry with Shared, and he went against him
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: with his armies to battle. And they did meet in
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: great anger, and they did meet in the valley of Gilgal,
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: and the battle became exceedingly sore, and it came to
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: pass that Shard fought against him for the space of
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: three days, and it came to pass that Korantemer beat
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: him and did pursue him until he came to the
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: plains of Heshlon, And it came to pass that Shard
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: gave him battle again upon the plains, and behold, he
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: did beat Kriantemer and drove him back again to the
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: valley of Guildelgall. And Coriantomer gave shared battle again in
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: the valley of Gilgal, in which he beat Shard and
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: slew him, and Shrid wounded Coriantemer in his thigh, that
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: he did not go to battle again for the space
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: of two years, in which time all the people upon
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: the face of the land were shedding blood, and there
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: was none to restrain them. And of Ether Chapters ten
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: through thirteen,
