Ether 2:24

For behold, ye shall be as a whale in the midst of the sea;

for the mountain waves shall dash upon you.

Nevertheless, I will bring you up again out of the depths of the sea;

for the winds have gone forth out of my mouth,

and also the rains and the floods have I sent forth.

Ether 2:25

And behold, I prepare you against these things;

for ye cannot cross this great deep

save I prepare you against the waves of the sea,

and the winds which have gone forth,

and the floods which shall come.

Therefore what will ye that I should prepare for you

that ye may have light when ye are swallowed up in the depths of the sea?

Ether 3:2

O Lord, thou hast said that we must be encompassed about by the floods.

Now behold, O Lord, and do not be angry with thy servant

because of his weakness before thee;

for we know that thou art holy and dwellest in the heavens,

and that we are unworthy before thee;

because of the fall our natures have become evil continually;

nevertheless, O Lord, thou hast given us a commandment

that we must call upon thee,

that from thee we may receive according to our desires.
