Alma 5:37

O ye workers of iniquity;

ye that are puffed up in the vain things of the world,

ye that have professed to have known the ways of righteousness

nevertheless have gone astray, as sheep having no shepherd,

notwithstanding a shepherd hath called after you

and is still calling after you,

but ye will not hearken unto his voice!

Alma 5:38

Behold, I say unto you, that the good shepherd doth call you;

yea, and in his own name he doth call you,

which is the name of Christ;

and if ye will not hearken unto the voice of the good shepherd,

to the name by which ye are called,

behold, ye are not the sheep of the good shepherd.

Alma 5:39

And now if ye are not the sheep of the good shepherd,

of what fold are ye?

Behold, I say unto you,

that the devil is your shepherd,

and ye are of his fold;

and now, who can deny this?

Behold, I say unto you,

whosoever denieth this is a liar and a child of the devil.

Alma 5:59

For what shepherd is there among you having many sheep

doth not watch over them,

that the wolves enter not and devour his flock?

And behold, if a wolf enter his flock

doth he not drive him out?

Yea, and at the last, if he can, he will destroy him.

Alma 5:60

And now I say unto you

that the good shepherd doth call after you;

and if you will hearken unto his voice

he will bring you into his fold, and ye are his sheep;

and he commandeth you that ye suffer no ravenous wolf to enter among you,

that ye may not be destroyed.
