And again, I, Alma, having been commanded of God

it came to pass as I began to preach unto them,

We will not believe thy words

if thou shouldst prophesy that this great city should be destroyed in one day.

Alma 9:12

Behold, now I say unto you that he commandeth you to repent;

and except ye repent, ye can in nowise inherit the kingdom of God.

ye shall be cut off from the presence of the Lord.

Alma 9:14

Now I would that ye should remember,

that inasmuch as the Lamanites have not kept the commandments of God,

and the Lamanites have been cut off from his presence,

from the beginning of their transgressions in the land.

that it shall be more tolerable for them in the day of judgment than for you,

if ye remain in your sins,

yea, and even more tolerable for them in this life than for you,

except ye repent.

Alma 9:16

For there are many promises which are extended to the Lamanites;

for it is because of the traditions of their fathers

that caused them to remain in their state of ignorance;

therefore the Lord will be merciful unto them

and prolong their existence in the land.

Alma 9:17

for the Lord will be merciful unto all who call on his name.

But behold, I say unto you that

if ye persist in your wickedness

that your days shall not be prolonged in the land,

for the Lamanites shall be sent upon you;

and if ye repent not

they shall come in a time when you know not,

and ye shall be visited with utter destruction;

and it shall be according to the fierce anger of the Lord.

Alma 9:19

For he will not suffer you that ye shall live in your iniquities,

to destroy his people.

I say unto you,

Nay; he would rather suffer that the Lamanites might destroy all his people

who are called the people of Nephi,

if it were possible that they could fall into sins and transgressions,

after having had so much light and so much knowledge

given unto them of the Lord their God;

Alma 9:22

Yea, and after having been delivered of God

out of the land of Jerusalem, by the hand of the Lord;

having been saved from famine,

and from sickness, and all manner of diseases of every kind;

having been brought out of bondage time after time,

and having been kept and preserved until now;

and they have been prospered until they are rich in all manner of things —

And not many days hence the Son of God shall come in his glory;

full of patience, mercy, and long-suffering,

quick to hear the cries of his people and to answer their prayers.

Alma 9:34

And it came to pass that Amulek went and stood forth,

and began to preach unto them also.

And now the words of Amulek are not all written,

nevertheless a part of his words are written in this book.
