Jacob 2:2

Now, my beloved brethren, I, Jacob,

according to the responsibility which I am under to God,

to magnify mine office with soberness,

and that I might rid my garments of your sins,

I come up into the temple this day

that I might declare unto you the word of God.

Jacob 2:9

Wherefore, it burdeneth my soul that I should be constrained,

because of the strict commandment which I have received from God,

to admonish you according to your crimes,

to enlarge the wounds of those who are already wounded,

instead of consoling and healing their wounds;

and those who have not been wounded,

instead of feasting upon the pleasing word of God

have daggers placed to pierce their souls and wound their delicate minds.
