“O Thou Child of Hell!”

References

• Alma 11:23–25

  Now Amulek said:

  “O thou child of hell, why tempt ye me?
  knowest thou that the righteous
  yieldeth to no such temptations?
  believest thou that there is no God?
  I say unto you, Nay,
  thou knowest that there is a God,
  but thou lovest that lucre more than him.
  and now thou hast lied before God unto me.

  Thou saidst unto me:

  ‘Behold these six onties,
  which are of great worth,
  I will give unto thee’

  “When thou hadst it in thy heart
  to retain them from me;
  and it was only thy desire
  that I should deny the true and living God,
  that thou mightest have cause to destroy me.
  and now behold, for this great evil
  thou shalt have thy reward.”
