62 Now when Alma had said these words, Korihor was struck dumb, that he could not have utterance according to the words of Alma.
63 And now when the chief judge saw this, he put forth his hand and wrote unto Korihor, saying: "Art thou convinced of the power of a God?
64 In whom did ye desire that Alma should show forth His sign? Would ye that He should afflict others to show unto thee a sign?
65 Now behold, He hath showed unto you a sign, And now, will ye dispute more?"
66 And Korihor put forth his hand and wrote, saying: "I know that I am dumb, for I cannot speak; And I know that nothing, save it were the power of God, could bring this upon me, Yea, and I always knew that there was a God.
67 "But behold, the devil hath deceived me, For he appeared unto me in the form of an angel and said unto me, ' Go and reclaim this people, for they have all gone astray after an Unknown God ';
68 And he saith unto me, 'There is no God, ' Yea, and he taught me that which I should say and I have taught his words; And I taught them because they were pleasing unto the carnal mind;
69 And I taught them even until I had much success, insomuch that I verily believed that they were true; And for this cause I withstood the truth, even until I have brought this great curse upon me."
70 Now when he had said this, he besought that Alma should pray unto God that the curse might be taken from him;
71 But Alma said unto him: "If this curse should be taken from thee, thou wouldst again lead away the hearts of this people, Therefore, it shall be unto thee even as the Lord will."
72 And it came to pass that the curse was not taken off of Korihor, But he was cast out and went about from house to house a begging for his food.
