Alma 16:166 But if ye
neglect the tree and take no thought for its nourishment, Behold, it will not get any root; And when the heat of the sun cometh and scorcheth it, and because it hath no root, it withereth away, And ye pluck it up and cast it out.
Alma 27:19 Yea, great has been your
neglect toward us. "And now behold, we desire to know the cause of this exceeding great
neglect; Yea, we desire to know the cause of your thoughtless state.
Alma 27:30 "And now behold, I say unto you, I fear exceedingly that the judgments of God will come upon this people because of their exceeding slothfulness, Yea, even the slothfulness of our government and their exceeding great
neglect toward their brethren, yea, toward those which have been slain.
