Coriantumr was the last king and Ether the last of the Jaredite prophets. The Spirit was so strong in Ether that he could not hold back; he had to open his mouth and teach and correct the people. So also testified the prophet Jeremiah: the reception he was getting out in the streets of Jerusalem was too painful, so he wanted to quit proclaiming the word. “But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay” (Jeremiah 20:9).
