Alma 4:6, 8

Alma 4:6

And it came to pass in the eighth year of the reign of the judges,

that the people of the church began to wax proud,

because of their exceeding riches, and their fine silks, and their fine-twined linen,

and because of their many flocks and herds,

and their gold and their silver, and all manner of precious things,

which they had obtained by their industry;

and in all these things were they lifted up in the pride of their eyes,

for they began to wear very costly apparel.

Alma 4:8

For they saw and beheld with great sorrow

that the people of the church began to be lifted up in the pride of their eyes,

and to set their hearts upon riches and upon the vain things of the world,

that they began to be scornful, one towards another,

and they began to persecute those that did not believe

according to their own will and pleasure.
