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.

      Ether 11:15

       15 And it came to pass that there arose a rebellion among the

       people, because of that secret combination which was built up to

       get power and gain; and there arose a mighty man among them in

       iniquity, and gave battle unto Moron, in which he did overthrow

       the half of the kingdom; and he did maintain the half of the

       kingdom for many years.

      Ether 11:16

       16 And it came to pass that Moron did overthrow him, and did

       obtain the kingdom again.

      Ether 11:17

       17 And it came to pass that there arose another mighty man; and

       he was a descendant of the brother of Jared.

      Ether 11:18

       18 And it came to pass that he did overthrow Moron and obtain

       the kingdom; wherefore, Moron dwelt in captivity all the

       remainder of his days; and he begat Coriantor.

      Ether 11:19

       19 And it came to pass that Coriantor dwelt in captivity all his

       days.

      Ether 11:20

       20 And in the days of Coriantor there also came many prophets,

       and prophesied of great and marvelous things, and cried

       repentance unto the people, and except they should repent the

       Lord God would execute judgment against them to their utter

       destruction;

      Ether 11:21

       21 And that the Lord God would send or bring forth another

       people to possess the land, by his power, after the manner by

       which he brought their fathers.

      Ether 11:22

       22 And they did reject all the words of the prophets, because of

       their secret society and wicked abominations.

      Ether 11:23

       23 And it came to pass that Coriantor begat Ether, and he died,

       having dwelt in captivity all his days.

      Ether 12 Chapter 12

      Ether 12:1

       1 And it came to pass that the days of Ether were in the days of

       Coriantumr; and Coriantumr was king over all the land.

      Ether 12:2

       2 And Ether was a prophet of the Lord; wherefore Ether came

       forth in the days of Coriantumr, and began to prophesy unto the

       people, for he could not be restrained because of the Spirit of

       the Lord which was in him.

      Ether 12:3

       3 For he did cry from the morning, even until the going down of

       the sun, exhorting the people to believe in God unto repentance

       lest they should be destroyed, saying unto them that by faith all

       things are fulfilled—

      Ether 12:4

       4 Wherefore, whoso believeth in God might with surety hope for a

       better world, yea, even a place at the right hand of God, which

       hope cometh of faith, maketh an anchor to the souls of men, which

       would make them sure and steadfast, always abounding in good

       works, being led to glorify God.

      Ether 12:5

       5 And it came to pass that Ether did prophesy great and

       marvelous things unto the people, which they did not believe,

       because they saw them not.

      Ether 12:6

       6 And now, I, Moroni, would speak somewhat concerning these

       things; I would show unto the world that faith is things which

       are hoped for and not seen; wherefore, dispute not because ye see

       not, for ye receive no witness until after the trial of your

       faith.

      Ether 12:7

       7 For it was by faith that Christ showed himself unto our

       fathers, after he had risen from the dead; and he showed not

       himself unto them until after they had faith in him; wherefore,

       it must needs be that some had faith in him, for he showed

       himself not unto the world.

      Ether 12:8

       8 But because of the faith of men he has shown himself unto the

       world, and glorified the name of the Father, and prepared a way

       that thereby others might be partakers of the heavenly gift, that

       they might hope for those things which they have not seen.

      Ether 12:9

       9 Wherefore, ye may also have hope, and be partakers of the

       gift, if ye will but have faith.

      Ether 12:10

       10 Behold it was by faith that they of old were called after the

       holy order of God.

      Ether 12:11

       11 Wherefore, by faith was the law of Moses given. But in the

       gift of his Son hath God prepared a more excellent way; and it is

       by faith that it hath been fulfilled.

      Ether 12:12

       12 For if there be no faith among the children of men God can do

       no miracle among them; wherefore, he showed not himself until

       after their faith.

      Ether 12:13

       13 Behold, it was the faith of Alma and Amulek that caused the

       prison to tumble to the earth.

      Ether 12:14

       14 Behold, it was the faith of Nephi and Lehi that wrought the

       change upon the Lamanites, that they were baptized with fire and

       with the Holy Ghost.

       15 Behold, it was
