Jacob 4:12

and now, beloved, marvel not that I tell you these things;

for why not speak of the atonement of Christ,

and attain to a perfect knowledge of him,

as to attain to the knowledge of a resurrection and the world to come?

Jacob 4:15

and now I, Jacob, am led on by the Spirit unto prophesying;

for I perceive by the workings of the Spirit which is in me,

that by the stumbling of the Jews they will reject the stone

upon which they might build and have safe foundation.

Jacob 4:17

and now, my beloved, how is it possible

that these, after having rejected the sure foundation, can ever build upon it,

that it may become the head of their corner?

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 5:32

But behold, this time it hath brought forth much fruit,

and there is none of it which is good.

And behold, there are all kinds of bad fruit;

and it profiteth me nothing, notwithstanding all our labor;

and now it grieveth me that I should lose this tree.

Jacob 5:42

Behold, I knew that all the fruit of the vineyard,

save it were these, had become corrupted.

and now these which have once brought forth good fruit

have also become corrupted;

and now all the trees of my vineyard are good for nothing

save it be to be hewn down and cast into the fire.

Jacob 5:46

and now, behold, notwithstanding all the care

which we have taken of my vineyard,

the trees thereof have become corrupted,

that they bring forth no good fruit;

and these I had hoped to preserve,

to have laid up fruit thereof against the season, unto mine own self.

But, behold, they have become like unto the wild olive tree,

and they are of no worth but to be hewn down and cast into the fire;

and it grieveth me that I should lose them.
