Now Alma said unto
him: Thou knowest that we do not glut ourselves upon the labors of this
people; for behold I have labored even from the commencement of the
reign of the judges until now, with mine own hands for my support,
notwithstanding my many travels round about the land to declare the word
of God unto my people.

But Alma said unto him: Thou hast had signs enough; will ye tempt your God? Will ye say, Show unto
me a sign, when ye have the testimony of all these thy brethren, and
also all the holy prophets? The scriptures are laid before thee, yea,
and all things denote there is a God; yea, even the earth, and all
things that are upon the face of it, yea, and its motion, yea, and also
all the planets which move in their regular form do witness that there
is a Supreme Creator.

him: Behold, I am grieved because of the hardness of your heart, yea,
that ye will still resist the spirit of the truth, that thy soul may be
destroyed.

Now Alma said unto him: This will I give unto
thee for a sign, that thou shalt be struck dumb, according to my words;
and I say, that in the name of God, ye shall be struck dumb, that ye
shall no more have utterance.

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.
