Ether 15
Millions of the Jaredites are slain in battle—Shiz and Coriantumr assemble all the people to mortal combat—The Spirit of the Lord ceases to strive with them—The Jaredite nation is utterly destroyed—Only Coriantumr remains.
And
it
came
to
pass
when
Coriantumr
had
recovered
of
his
wounds,
he
began
to
remember
the
a
words
which
Ether
had
spoken
unto
him.
2 He
saw
that
there
had
been
slain
by
the
sword
already
nearly
a
two
millions
of
his
people,
and
he
began
to
sorrow
in
his
heart;
yea,
there
had
been
slain
two
millions
of
mighty
men,
and
also
their
wives
and
their
children.
3 He
began
to
repent
of
the
evil
which
he
had
done;
he
began
to
remember
the
words
which
had
been
spoken
by
the
mouth
of
all
the
prophets,
and
he
saw
them
that
they
were
fulfilled
thus
far,
every
whit;
and
his
soul
a
mourned
and
refused
to
be
b
comforted.
4 And
it
came
to
pass
that
he
wrote
an
epistle
unto
Shiz,
desiring
him
that
he
would
spare
the
people,
and
he
would
give
up
the
kingdom
for
the
sake
of
the
lives
of
the
people.
5 And
it
came
to
pass
that
when
Shiz
had
received
his
epistle
he
wrote
an
epistle
unto
Coriantumr,
that
if
he
would
give
himself
up,
that
he
might
slay
him
with
his
own
sword,
that
he
would
spare
the
lives
of
the
people.
6 And
it
came
to
pass
that
the
people
repented
not
of
their
iniquity;
and
the
people
of
Coriantumr
were
stirred
up
to
anger
against
the
people
of
Shiz;
and
the
people
of
Shiz
were
stirred
up
to
anger
against
the
people
of
Coriantumr;
wherefore,
the
people
of
Shiz
did
give
battle
unto
the
people
of
Coriantumr.
7 And
when
Coriantumr
saw
that
he
was
about
to
fall
he
fled
again
before
the
people
of
Shiz.
8 And
it
came
to
pass
that
he
came
to
the
waters
of
Ripliancum,
which,
by
interpretation,
is
large,
or
to
exceed
all;
wherefore,
when
they
came
to
these
waters
they
pitched
their
tents;
and
Shiz
also
pitched
his
tents
near
unto
them;
and
therefore
on
the
morrow
they
did
come
to
battle.
9 And
it
came
to
pass
that
they
fought
an
exceedingly
sore
battle,
in
which
Coriantumr
was
wounded
again,
and
he
fainted
with
the
loss
of
blood.
10 And
it
came
to
pass
that
the
armies
of
Coriantumr
did
press
upon
the
armies
of
Shiz
that
they
beat
them,
that
they
caused
them
to
flee
before
them;
and
they
did
flee
southward,
and
did
pitch
their
tents
in
a
place
which
was
called
Ogath.
11 And
it
came
to
pass
that
the
army
of
Coriantumr
did
pitch
their
tents
by
the
hill
Ramah;
and
it
was
that
same
hill
where
my
father
Mormon
did
a
hide
up
the
records
unto
the
Lord,
which
were
sacred.
12 And
it
came
to
pass
that
they
did
gather
together
all
the
people
upon
all
the
face
of
the
land,
who
had
not
been
slain,
save
it
was
Ether.
13 And
it
came
to
pass
that
Ether
did
a
behold
all
the
doings
of
the
people;
and
he
beheld
that
the
people
who
were
for
Coriantumr
were
gathered
together
to
the
army
of
Coriantumr;
and
the
people
who
were
for
Shiz
were
gathered
together
to
the
army
of
Shiz.
14 Wherefore,
they
were
for
the
space
of
four
years
gathering
together
the
people,
that
they
might
get
all
who
were
upon
the
face
of
the
land,
and
that
they
might
receive
all
the
strength
which
it
was
possible
that
they
could
receive.
15 And
it
came
to
pass
that
when
they
were
all
gathered
together,
every
one
to
the
army
which
he
would,
with
their
wives
and
their
children—both
men,
women
and
children
being
armed
with
a
weapons
of
war,
having
shields,
and
b
breastplates,
and
head-plates,
and
being
clothed
after
the
manner
of
war—they
did
march
forth
one
against
another
to
battle;
and
they
fought
all
that
day,
and
conquered
not.
16 And
it
came
to
pass
that
when
it
was
night
they
were
weary,
and
retired
to
their
camps;
and
after
they
had
retired
to
their
camps
they
took
up
a
howling
and
a
a
lamentation
for
the
loss
of
the
slain
of
their
people;
and
so
great
were
their
cries,
their
howlings
and
lamentations,
that
they
did
rend
the
air
exceedingly.
17 And
it
came
to
pass
that
on
the
morrow
they
did
go
again
to
battle,
and
great
and
terrible
was
that
day;
nevertheless,
they
conquered
not,
and
when
the
night
came
again
they
did
rend
the
air
with
their
cries,
and
their
howlings,
and
their
mournings,
for
the
loss
of
the
slain
of
their
people.
18 And
it
came
to
pass
that
Coriantumr
wrote
again
an
epistle
unto
Shiz,
desiring
that
he
would
not
come
again
to
battle,
but
that
he
would
take
the
kingdom,
and
spare
the
lives
of
the
people.
19 But
behold,
the
a
Spirit
of
the
Lord
had
ceased
striving
with
them,
and
b
Satan
had
full
power
over
the
c
hearts
of
the
people;
for
they
were
given
up
unto
the
hardness
of
their
hearts,
and
the
blindness
of
their
minds
that
they
might
be
destroyed;
wherefore
they
went
again
to
battle.
20 And
it
came
to
pass
that
they
fought
all
that
day,
and
when
the
night
came
they
slept
upon
their
swords.
21 And
on
the
morrow
they
fought
even
until
the
night
came.
22 And
when
the
night
came
they
were
a
drunken
with
anger,
even
as
a
man
who
is
drunken
with
wine;
and
they
slept
again
upon
their
swords.
23 And
on
the
morrow
they
fought
again;
and
when
the
night
came
they
had
all
fallen
by
the
sword
save
it
were
fifty
and
two
of
the
people
of
Coriantumr,
and
sixty
and
nine
of
the
people
of
Shiz.
24 And
it
came
to
pass
that
they
slept
upon
their
swords
that
night,
and
on
the
morrow
they
fought
again,
and
they
contended
in
their
might
with
their
swords
and
with
their
shields,
all
that
day.
25 And
when
the
night
came
there
were
thirty
and
two
of
the
people
of
Shiz,
and
twenty
and
seven
of
the
people
of
Coriantumr.
26 And
it
came
to
pass
that
they
ate
and
slept,
and
prepared
for
death
on
the
morrow.
And
they
were
large
and
mighty
men
as
to
the
strength
of
men.
27 And
it
came
to
pass
that
they
fought
for
the
space
of
three
hours,
and
they
fainted
with
the
loss
of
blood.
28 And
it
came
to
pass
that
when
the
men
of
Coriantumr
had
received
sufficient
strength
that
they
could
walk,
they
were
about
to
flee
for
their
lives;
but
behold,
Shiz
arose,
and
also
his
men,
and
he
swore
in
his
wrath
that
he
would
slay
Coriantumr
or
he
would
perish
by
the
sword.
29 Wherefore,
he
did
pursue
them,
and
on
the
morrow
he
did
overtake
them;
and
they
fought
again
with
the
sword.
And
it
came
to
pass
that
when
they
had
a
all
fallen
by
the
sword,
save
it
were
Coriantumr
and
Shiz,
behold
Shiz
had
fainted
with
the
loss
of
blood.
30 And
it
came
to
pass
that
when
Coriantumr
had
leaned
upon
his
sword,
that
he
rested
a
little,
he
smote
off
the
head
of
Shiz.
31 And
it
came
to
pass
that
after
he
had
smitten
off
the
head
of
Shiz,
that
Shiz
raised
up
on
his
hands
and
a
fell;
and
after
that
he
had
struggled
for
breath,
he
died.
32 And
it
came
to
pass
that
a
Coriantumr
fell
to
the
earth,
and
became
as
if
he
had
no
life.
33 And
the
Lord
spake
unto
Ether,
and
said
unto
him:
Go
forth.
And
he
went
forth,
and
beheld
that
the
words
of
the
Lord
had
all
been
fulfilled;
and
he
a
finished
his
b
record;
(and
the
c
hundredth
part
I
have
not
written)
and
he
hid
them
in
a
manner
that
the
people
of
Limhi
did
find
them.
34 Now
the
last
words
which
are
written
by
a
Ether
are
these:
Whether
the
Lord
will
that
I
be
translated,
or
that
I
suffer
the
will
of
the
Lord
in
the
flesh,
it
mattereth
not,
if
it
so
be
that
I
am
b
saved
in
the
kingdom
of
God.
Amen.
