Jacob 4:3
Now in this thing we do rejoice;
and we labor diligently to engraven these words upon plates,
hoping that our beloved brethren and our children
will receive them with thankful hearts,
and look upon them that they may learn with joy
and not with sorrow, neither with contempt,
concerning their first parents.
Jacob 4:4
For, for this intent have we written these things,
that they may know that we knew of Christ,
and we had a hope of his glory many hundred years before his coming;
and not only we ourselves had a hope of his glory,
but also all the holy prophets which were before us.
Jacob 4:14
But behold, the Jews were a stiffnecked people;
and they despised the words of plainness, and killed the prophets,
and sought for things that they could not understand.
Wherefore, because of their blindness,
which blindness came by looking beyond the mark,
they must needs fall;
for God hath taken away his plainness from them,
and delivered unto them many things which they cannot understand,
because they desired it.
And because they desired it
God hath done it, that they may stumble.

that they may not cumber the ground of my vineyard.

I have done this thing.

whither the master had hid the natural branches of the tree,
and he said unto the servant:
Behold these;
and he beheld the first that it had brought forth much fruit;
and he beheld also that it was good.
And he said unto the servant:
Take of the fruit thereof, and lay it up against the season,
that I may preserve it unto mine own self;
for behold, said he, this long time have I nourished it,
and it hath brought forth much fruit.

and it grieveth me that I should lose them.

and they shall be one.
