Alma 31:27

Behold, O God, they cry unto thee,

and yet their hearts are swallowed up in their pride.

Behold, O God, they cry unto thee with their mouths,

while they are puffed up, even to greatness, with the vain things of the world.

Alma 32:3

Therefore they were not permitted

to enter into their synagogues to worship God,

being esteemed as filthiness;

therefore they were poor;

yea, they were esteemed by their brethren as dross;

therefore they were poor as to things of the world;

and also they were poor in heart.

Alma 32:4

Now, as Alma was teaching and speaking unto the people upon the hill Onidah,

there came a great multitude unto him,

who were those of whom we have been speaking,

of whom were poor in heart, because of their poverty as to the things of the world.
