Jacob 2:3, 9, 16,

Jacob 3:11

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 2:9

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 2:16

O that he would rid you from this iniquity and abomination.

And, O that ye would listen unto the word of his commands,

and let not this pride of your hearts destroy your souls!

Jacob 3:11

O my brethren, hearken unto my words;

arouse the faculties of your souls;

shake yourselves that ye may awake from the slumber of death;

and loose yourselves from the pains of hell

that ye may not become angels to the devil,

to be cast into that lake of fire and brimstone which is the second death.
