Alma 54:7

Yea, I would tell you these things

if ye were capable of hearkening unto them;

yea, I would tell you concerning that awful hell

that awaits to receive such murderers as thou and thy brother have been,

except ye repent and withdraw your murderous purposes,

and return with your armies to your own lands.



Alma 54:11

But behold, it supposeth me that I talk to you concerning these things in vain;

or it supposeth me that thou art a child of hell;

therefore I will close my epistle by telling you

that I will not exchange prisoners, save it be on conditions

that ye will deliver up a man and his wife and his children, for one prisoner;

if this be the case that ye will do it, I will exchange.



Alma 54:12

And behold, if ye do not this,

I will come against you with my armies;

yea, even I will arm my women and my children,

and I will come against you,

and I will follow you even into your own land,

which is the land of our first inheritance;

yea, and it shall be blood for blood, yea, life for life;

and I will give you battle

even until you are destroyed from off the face of the earth.



Alma 54:13

Behold, I am in my anger, and also my people;

ye have sought to murder us,

we will seek to destroy you;

yea, and we will seek our land,

the land of our first inheritance.

and subject yourselves to be governed by those

to whom the government doth rightly belong,

then will I cause that my people shall lay down their weapons

and shall be at war no more.

behold, we know not such a being; neither do ye;

but if it so be that there is such a being,

we know not but that he hath made us as well as you.



Alma 54:22

And if it so be that there is a devil and a hell,

behold will he not send you there

to dwell with my brother whom ye have murdered,

whom ye have hinted that he hath gone to such a place?

But behold these things matter not.



Alma 55:32

And they were thus cautious

that no poison should be administered among them;

for if their wine would poison a Lamanite

it would also poison a Nephite;

and thus they did try all their liquors.
