Alma 30:29

Now when the high priest and the chief judge saw the hardness of his heart,

yea, when they saw that he would revile even against God,

they would not make any reply to his words;

but they caused that he should be bound;

and they delivered him up into the hands of the officers,

and sent him to the land of Zarahemla,

that he might be brought before Alma, and the chief judge

who was governor over all the land.

Alma 31:9

But they had fallen into great errors,

for they would not observe to keep the commandments of God, and his statutes,

according to the law of Moses.

Alma 33:20

But few understood the meaning of those things,

and this because of the hardness of their hearts.

But there were many who were so hardened that they would not look,

therefore they perished.

Now the reason they would not look

is because they did not believe that it would heal them.

Alma 35:3

And it came to pass that

after the more popular part of the Zoramites had consulted together

concerning the words which had been preached unto them,

they were angry because of the word,

for it did destroy their craft; therefore they would not hearken unto the words.
