Ether 11 shows us a nation in constant turmoil—brief moments of righteousness followed by long stretches of wickedness and war. As we go verse by verse, we see the Jaredites slipping further into chaos, ignoring prophets, and repeating the same destructive cycles. It’s a sobering reminder of what happens when people harden their hearts, but it also points us to God’s patience and His desire to call His children back, again and again.
