Now Alma, being grieved for the iniquity of his people,

yea for the wars, and the bloodsheds, and the contentions which were among them;

and having been to declare the word, or sent to declare the word,

and seeing that the hearts of the people began to wax hard,

and that they began to be offended because of the strictness of the word,

his heart was exceedingly sorrowful.
