Alma 13:10

Now, as I said concerning the holy order, or this high priesthood,

And the people went forth and witnessed against them —

testifying that they had reviled against the law,

and their lawyers and judges of the land,

and that he should send his Son among the people,

but he should not save them;

and exercise the power of God which is in us,

and save them from the flames.

The Spirit constraineth me that I must not stretch forth mine hand;

for behold the Lord receiveth them up unto himself, in glory;

and he doth suffer that they may do this thing,

or that the people may do this thing unto them,

according to the hardness of their hearts,

that the judgments which he shall exercise upon them in his wrath may be just;

and the blood of the innocent shall stand as a witness against them,

yea, and cry mightily against them at the last day.

why do ye not deliver yourselves?

which was caused by the great tribulations of his mind

on account of his wickedness,

And this great sin, and his many other sins, did harrow up his mind

until it did become exceedingly sore,

having no deliverance;

therefore he began to be scorched with a burning heat.
