Ether 13:13

And I was about to write more, but I am forbidden;

but great and marvelous were the prophecies of Ether;

but they esteemed him as naught, and cast him out;

and he hid himself in the cavity of a rock by day,

and by night he went forth

viewing the things which should come upon the people.

Ether 13:14

And as he dwelt in the cavity of a rock

he made the remainder of this record,

viewing the destructions which came upon the people,

by night.

Ether 13:15

And it came to pass that in that same year

in which he was cast out from among the people

there began to be a great war among the people,

for there were many who rose up, who were mighty men,

and sought to destroy Coriantumr

by their secret plans of wickedness, of which hath been spoken.

Ether 13:16

And now Coriantumr, having studied, himself,

in all the arts of war and all the cunning of the world,

wherefore he gave battle unto them who sought to destroy him.

Ether 13:17

But he repented not, neither his fair sons nor daughters;

neither the fair sons and daughters of Cohor;

neither the fair sons and daughters of Corihor;

and in fine, there were none of the fair sons and daughters

upon the face of the whole earth

who repented of their sins.

Ether 13:18

Wherefore, it came to pass that

in the first year that Ether dwelt in the cavity of a rock,

there were many people who were slain by the sword

of those secret combinations, fighting against Coriantumr

that they might obtain the kingdom.

Ether 13:19

And it came to pass that the sons of Coriantumr fought much and bled much.

Ether 13:20

And in the second year the word of the Lord came to Ether,

that he should go and prophesy unto Coriantumr

that, if he would repent, and all his household,

the Lord would give unto him his kingdom and spare the people —

Ether 13:21

Otherwise they should be destroyed,

and all his household save it were himself.

And he should only live to see the fulfilling of the prophecies

which had been spoken concerning another people

receiving the land for their inheritance;

and Coriantumr should receive a burial by them;

and every soul should be destroyed save it were Coriantumr.

Ether 13:22

And it came to pass that Coriantumr repented not,

neither his household, neither the people;

and the wars ceased not;

and they sought to kill Ether,

but he fled from before them and hid again in the cavity of the rock.
