Alma 14:14

Now it came to pass that when the bodies of those

who had been cast into the fire were consumed,

and also the records which were cast in with them,

the chief judge of the land came

and stood before Alma and Amulek, as they were bound;

and he smote them with his hand upon their cheeks,

and said unto them:

After what ye have seen, will ye preach again unto this people,

that they shall be cast into a lake of fire and brimstone?

Alma 14:22

And many such things,

yea, all manner of such things

did they say unto them;

and thus they did mock them for many days.

And they did withhold food from them that they might hunger,

and water that they might thirst;

and they also did take from them their clothes that they were naked;

and thus they were bound with strong cords, and confined in prison.

Alma 14:26

And Alma cried, saying:

How long shall we suffer these great afflictions, O Lord?

O Lord, give us strength

according to our faith which is in Christ,

even unto deliverance.

And they broke the cords with which they were bound;

and when the people saw this, they began to flee,

for the fear of destruction had come upon them.
