Ether 8:9

Now the daughter of Jared was exceeding fair. And it came to pass that she did talk with her father, and saith unto him, Whereby hath my father so much sorrow? Hath he not read the record which our fathers brought across the great deep? Behold, is there not an account concerning them of old, that they by their secret plans did obtain kingdoms and great glory?

Jared’s daughter was very beautiful. She talked with her father. She said: Why are you so sad? Have you read the records our fathers brought across the great ocean? They tell about people long ago who used secret plans to get kingdoms and great power.

Jared’s daughter was beautiful. She went to her father and said, “Why are you so miserable? Haven’t you read the old records our ancestors brought across the ocean? Don’t they tell how people in ancient times used secret conspiracies to seize kingdoms and win great power?”
