37 Why will ye yield yourselves unto him that he may have power over you, to blind your eyes, that ye will not understand the words which are spoken, according to their truth?
38 For behold, have I testified against your law?
39 Ye do not understand; ye say that I have spoken against your law; but I have not; but I have spoken in favor of your law, to your condemnation.
40 And now behold, I say unto you, that the foundation of the destruction of this people is beginning to be laid by the unrighteousness of your lawyers and your judges.
41 And now it came to pass that when Amulek had spoken these words, the people cried out against him, saying, Now we know that this man is a child of the devil, for he hath lied unto us; for he hath spoken against our law.
42 And now he says that he has not spoken against it.
43 And again; he has reviled against our lawyers, and our judges, etc.
44 And it came to pass that the lawyers put it into their hearts that they should remember these things against him.
45 And there was one among them whose name was Zeezrom.
46 Now he was the foremost to accuse Amulek and Alma, he being one of the most expert among them, having much business to do among the people.
47 Now the object of these lawyers was to get gain; and they got gain according to their employ.
