Ether 8:9
Now the daughter of Jared was exceedingly fair.
And it came to pass that she did talk with her father, and said unto him:
Whereby hath my father so much sorrow?
Hath he not read the record which our fathers brought across the great deep?
Behold, is there not an account concerning them of old,
that they by their secret plans did obtain kingdoms and great glory?
Ether 8:18
And it came to pass that they formed a secret combination,
even as they of old;
which combination is most abominable and wicked above all, in the sight of God;
Ether 8:19
For the Lord worketh not in secret combinations,
neither doth he will that man should shed blood,
but in all things hath forbidden it, from the beginning of man.
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 8:24
Wherefore, the Lord commandeth you,
when ye shall see these things come among you
that ye shall awake to a sense of your awful situation,
because of this secret combination which shall be among you;
or wo be unto it, because of the blood of them who have been slain;
for they cry from the dust for vengeance upon it,
and also upon those who built it up.
