Rhetorical: Alma's opening statements go directly to the weak point that Amulek has opened. Zeezrom is trembling because he has been unexpectedly caught in a trap that he attempted to lay. Alma reinforces Amulek's illumination of Zeezrom's dark plan. What he now does is make sure that the assembled crowd may not disassociate themselves from Zeezrom. They may not assume that Alma will be speaking only to Zeezrom, even when he is addressing Zeezrom directly. Alma has included all of the audience as the recipients of his discourse, while continuing to most immediately engage Zeezrom. This is the reason that he says "I would that ye should remember that what I say unto thee I say unto all."
