"27 For every man receiveth wages of him whom he listeth to obey, and this according to the words of the spirit of prophecy; therefore let it be according to the truth. And thus endeth the fifth year of the reign of the judges." (Alma 3:27)
They had just lived through what turned out to be a very destructive year. Tens of thousands of souls died that year, and were sent to the eternal realm, whether they were good or bad. There are consequences to all our actions. We never know when this life will come to an end, so we should live each day in such a way that we can expect good "wages". When we "listeth to obey" God, following His commandments, and living a righteous life, we will become heirs to all that He has. That is a pretty good set of wages, I would say. On the other hand, if we "listeth to obey" the world, or really, Satan, we will get a just reward (punishment) for that. It's really pretty straightforward.
