Alma 4:8

For they saw and beheld with great sorrow, that the people of the church began to be lifed up in the pride of their eyes, and to set their hearts upon riches and upon the vain things of the world; that they began to be scornful, one towards another, and they began to persecute those that did not believe according to their own will and pleasure.

They saw with great sadness that the people of the church were becoming proud. The people cared more about money and the things of the world. They started to be mean to each other. They started to hurt people who didn’t believe what they wanted them to believe.

They watched with breaking hearts as church members became arrogant, setting their hearts on wealth and worthless things. People grew scornful toward one another and started persecuting anyone who didn’t believe the way they wanted them to.
