and save them from the flames.

save it were Alma and Amulek, was slain;

and they straightway came forth into the city.

who had been cast out and stoned,

because they believed in the words of Alma.

which was caused by the great tribulations of his mind

on account of his wickedness,

for he supposed that Alma and Amulek were no more;

until it did become exceedingly sore,

having no deliverance;

therefore he began to be scorched with a burning heat.

But as to the people that were in the land of Ammonihah,

they yet remained a hard-hearted and a stiffnecked people;

for they were of the profession of Nehor,

and did not believe in the repentance of their sins.

Alma 15:16

And it came to pass that Alma and Amulek,

Amulek having forsaken all his gold, and silver,

and his precious things, which were in the land of Ammonihah,

for the word of God,

he being rejected by those who were once his friends

and also by his father and his kindred;

Alma 15:17

seeing a great check,

yea, seeing that the people were checked as to the pride of their hearts,

and began to humble themselves before God,

and began to assemble themselves together at their sanctuaries

to worship God before the altar,

watching and praying continually,

that they might be delivered from Satan, and from death, and from destruction —

Alma 15:18

Alma having seen all these things,

therefore he took Amulek and came over to the land of Zarahemla,

and took him to his own house,

and did administer unto him in his tribulations,

and strengthened him in the Lord.
