Jacob 4:2

But whatsoever things we write upon anything save it be upon plates

must perish and vanish away;

but we can write a few words upon plates,

which will give our children, and also our beloved brethren,

a small degree of knowledge concerning us, or concerning their fathers —

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 4:14

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.

which I planted whithersoever I would are yet alive;

wherefore, that I may preserve them also for mine own purpose,

I will take of the branches of this tree, and I will graft them in unto them.

Yea, I will graft in unto them the branches of their mother tree,

that I may preserve the roots also unto mine own self,

that when they shall be sufficiently strong

perhaps they may bring forth good fruit unto me,

and I may yet have glory in the fruit of my vineyard.

because of their goodness; and because of the change of the branches,

that the good may overcome the evil.

And because that I have preserved the natural branches and the roots thereof,

and that I have grafted in the natural branches again into their mother tree,

and have preserved the roots of their mother tree,

that, perhaps, the trees of my vineyard may bring forth again good fruit

and that I may have joy again in the fruit of my vineyard,

and, perhaps, that I may rejoice exceedingly

that I have preserved the roots and the branches of the first fruit —

and the Lord of the vineyard labored also with them;

and they did obey the commandments of the Lord of the vineyard in all things.
