Now this was the cause of much affliction to Alma,

yea, and to many of the people whom Alma had consecrated

to be teachers, and priests, and elders over the church;

yea, many of them were sorely grieved for the wickedness

which they saw had begun to be among their people.

Alma 4:11

And it came to pass in the commencement of the ninth year,

Alma saw the wickedness of the church,

and he saw also that the example of the church

began to lead those who were unbelievers on

from one piece of iniquity to another,

thus bringing on the destruction of the people.

Alma 4:16

And he selected a wise man who was among the elders of the church,

and gave him power according to the voice of the people,

that he might have power to enact laws

according to the laws which had been given,

and to put them in force according to the wickedness and the crimes of the people.
