Ether 7:22

And now Cohor had a son who was called Nimrod;

and he did do in the kingdom of Shule according to his desires.

Ether 8:16

And they were kept up by the power of the devil

to administer these oaths unto the people, to keep them in darkness,

to help such as sought power to gain power,

and to murder, and to plunder, and to lie,

and to commit all manner of wickedness and whoredoms.

Ether 8:22

And whatsoever nation shall uphold such secret combinations,

to get power and gain,

until they shall spread over the nation,

behold, they shall be destroyed;

for the Lord will not suffer

that the blood of his saints, which shall be shed by them,

shall always cry unto him from the ground for vengeance upon them

and yet he avenge them not.

Ether 8:23

Wherefore, O ye Gentiles,

it is wisdom in God that these things should be shown unto you,

that thereby ye may repent of your sins,

and suffer not that these murderous combinations shall get above you,

which are built up to get power and gain —

and the work, yea, even the work of destruction come upon you,

yea, even the sword of the justice of the Eternal God shall fall upon you,

to your overthrow and destruction

if ye shall suffer these things to be.
