Alma 4:3

And so great were their afflictions that every soul had cause to mourn;

and they believed that it was the judgments of God sent upon them

because of their wickedness and their abominations;

therefore they were awakened to a remembrance of their duty.

Alma 4:13

Now this was a great cause for lamentations among the people,

while others were abasing themselves,

succoring those who stood in need of their succor,

such as imparting their substance to the poor and the needy,

feeding the hungry, and suffering all manner of afflictions, for Christ's sake,

who should come according to the spirit of prophecy;

Alma 4:15

And now it came to pass that

Alma, having seen the afflictions of the humble followers of God,

and the persecutions which were heaped upon them by the remainder of his people,

and seeing all their inequality,

began to be very sorrowful;

nevertheless the Spirit of the Lord did not fail him.
