Helaman 7:5

condemning the righteous because of their righteousness; letting the guilty and the wicked go unpunished, bacause of their money; and moreover, to be held in office at the head of government, to rule and do according to their wills, that they might get gain and glory of the world; and moreover that they might the more easy commit adultery, and steal, and kill, and do according to their own wills.

They punished good people for being good. They let evil people go free because of their money. They stayed in power so they could rule as they wanted. They wanted to get money and fame. They wanted to break marriage promises, steal, kill, and do whatever they wanted.

They condemned good people for doing what was right. They let criminals walk free if they had enough money. They held positions of power so they could rule however they wanted—chasing wealth and glory. It made it easier for them to commit adultery, steal, murder, and live however they pleased.
