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 2:4

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 2:11

Wherefore, I must tell you the truth

according to the plainness of the word of God.

For behold, as I inquired of the Lord,

thus came the word unto me, saying:

Jacob, get thou up into the temple on the morrow,

and declare the word which I shall give thee unto this people.

Jacob 2:12

And now behold, my brethren, this is the word which I declare unto you,

that many of you have begun to search for gold, and for silver,

and for all manner of precious ores,

in the which this land,

which is a land of promise unto you and to your seed,

doth abound most plentifully.

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.
