Alma 14:2
2 But the more part of them were desirous that they might
destroy Alma and Amulek; for they were angry with Alma, because
of the plainness of his words unto Zeezrom; and they also said
that Amulek had lied unto them, and had reviled against their law
and also against their lawyers and judges.
Alma 14:3
3 And they were also angry with Alma and Amulek; and because
they had testified so plainly against their wickedness, they
