Jacob 2:3, 4, 9, 20, 25, 32

Jacob 2:3

And ye yourselves know that I have hitherto been diligent

in the office of my calling;

but I this day am weighed down

with much more desire and anxiety for the welfare of your souls

than I have hitherto been.

Jacob 2:4

For behold, as yet, ye have been obedient

unto the word of the Lord, which I have given unto you.

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.

Jacob 2:20

And now, my brethren, I have spoken unto you concerning pride;

and those of you which have afflicted your neighbor, and persecuted him

because ye were proud in your hearts, of the things which God hath given you,

what say ye of it?

Jacob 2:25

Wherefore, thus saith the Lord,

I have led this people forth out of the land of Jerusalem,

by the power of mine arm,

that I might raise up unto me a righteous branch

from the fruit of the loins of Joseph.

Jacob 2:32

And I will not suffer, saith the Lord of Hosts,

that the cries of the fair daughters of this people,

which I have led out of the land of Jerusalem,

shall come up unto me against the men of my people, saith the Lord of Hosts.
