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.”
