Alma 10:24

And now it came to pass that the people were more angry with Amulek,

and they cried out, saying:

This man doth revile against our laws which are just,

and our wise lawyers whom we have selected.

Alma 10:25

But Amulek stretched forth his hand, and cried the mightier unto them, saying:

O ye wicked and perverse generation,

why hath Satan got such great hold upon your hearts?

Why will ye yield yourselves unto him

that he may have power over you, to blind your eyes,

that ye will not understand the words which are spoken, according to their truth?

Alma 10:26

For behold, have I testified against your law?

Ye do not understand;

ye say that I have spoken against your law;

but I have not,

but I have spoken in favor of your law,

to your condemnation.

Alma 10:27

And now behold, I say unto you,

that the foundation of the destruction of this people is beginning to be laid

by the unrighteousness of your lawyers and your judges.

Alma 10:28

And now it came to pass that when Amulek had spoken these words

the people cried out against him, saying:

Now we know that this man is a child of the devil,

for he hath lied unto us;

for he hath spoken against our law.

And now he says that he has not spoken against it.

Alma 10:29

And again, he has reviled against our lawyers, and our judges.

Alma 10:30

And it came to pass that the lawyers put it into their hearts

that they should remember these things against him.

Alma 10:31

And there was one among them whose name was Zeezrom.

Now he was the foremost to accuse Amulek and Alma,

he being one of the most expert among them,

having much business to do among the people.

Alma 10:32

Now the object of these lawyers was to get gain;

and they got gain according to their employ.
