33 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;
34 And they also said that Amulek had lied unto them and had reviled against their law, And also against their lawyers and judges;
35 And they were also angry with Alma and Amulek; And because they had testified so plainly against their wickedness, they sought to put them away privily.
36 But it came to pass that they did not, But they took them and bound them with strong cords and took them before the chief judge of the land.
37 And the people went forth and witnessed against them, testifying that they had reviled against their law and their lawyers and judges of the land, And also all the people that were in the land;
38 And also testified that there was but one God, And that He should send His Son among the people, but He should not save them; And many such things did the people testify against Alma and Amulek.
39 And it came to pass that it was done before the chief judge of the land.
40 And it also came to pass that Zeezrom was astonished at the words which had been spoken, And he also knew concerning the blindness of the minds which he had caused among the people by his lying words;
41 And his soul began to be harrowed up under a consciousness of his own guilt, Yea, he began to be encircled about by the pains of hell.
42 And it came to pass that he began to cry unto the people, saying: "Behold, I am guilty and these men are spotless before God!"
43 And it came to pass that he began to plead for them from that time forth, but they reviled him, saying: "Art thou also possessed with the devil?"
