Alma 12:1

Now Alma, seeing that the words of Amulek had silenced Zeezrom,

for he beheld that Amulek had caught him

in his lying and deceiving to destroy him,

and seeing that he began to tremble under a consciousness of his guilt,

he opened his mouth and began to speak unto him,

and to establish the words of Amulek, and to explain things beyond,

or to unfold the scriptures beyond that which Amulek had done.

Alma 12:2

Now the words that Alma spake unto Zeezrom were heard

by the people round about;

for the multitude was great,

and he spake on this wise:

Alma 12:3

Now Zeezrom, seeing that thou hast been taken in thy lying and craftiness,

for thou hast not lied unto men only but thou hast lied unto God;

for behold, he knows all thy thoughts,

and thou seest that thy thoughts are made known unto us by his Spirit;

Alma 12:4

And thou seest that we know that thy plan was a very subtle plan,

as to the subtlety of the devil, for to lie and to deceive this people

that thou mightest set them against us,

to revile us and to cast us out —

Alma 12:5

Now this was a plan of thine adversary,

and he hath exercised his power in thee.

Now I would that ye should remember

that what I say unto thee I say unto all.

Alma 12:6

And behold I say unto you all

that this was a snare of the adversary,

which he has laid to catch this people,

that he might bring you into subjection unto him,

that he might encircle you about with his chains,

that he might chain you down to everlasting destruction,

according to the power of his captivity.
