Ether 8:22, 23

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.
