Jacob 5:3, 14, 18, 25

Jacob 5:3

For behold, thus saith the Lord,

I will liken thee, O house of Israel, like unto a tame olive tree,

which a man took and nourished in his vineyard;

and it grew, and waxed old, and began to decay.

Jacob 5:14

And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard went his way,

and hid the natural branches of the tame olive tree

in the nethermost parts of the vineyard, some in one and some in another,

according to his will and pleasure.

Jacob 5:18

And he said unto the servant:

Behold, the branches of the wild tree

have taken hold of the moisture of the root thereof,

that the root thereof hath brought forth much strength;

and because of the much strength of the root thereof

the wild branches have brought forth tame fruit.

Now, if we had not grafted in these branches,

the tree thereof would have perished.

And now, behold, I shall lay up much fruit,

which the tree thereof hath brought forth;

and the fruit thereof I shall lay up against the season, unto mine own self.

Jacob 5:25

And he said unto the servant:

Look hither and behold the last.

Behold, this have I planted in a good spot of ground;

and I have nourished it this long time,

and only a part of the tree hath brought forth tame fruit,

and the other part of the tree hath brought forth wild fruit;

behold, I have nourished this tree like unto the others.
