Jacob 5:3, 66, 68, 74

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 5:66

For it grieveth me that I should lose the trees of my vineyard;

wherefore ye shall clear away the bad according as the good shall grow,

that the root and the top may be equal in strength,

until the good shall overcome the bad,

and the bad be hewn down and cast into the fire,

that they cumber not the ground of my vineyard;

and thus will I sweep away the bad out of my vineyard.

Jacob 5:68

And the branches of the natural tree will I graft into the natural branches of the tree;

and thus will I bring them together again,

that they shall bring forth the natural fruit,

and they shall be one.

Jacob 5:74

And thus they labored, with all diligence,

according to the commandments of the Lord of the vineyard,

even until the bad had been cast away out of the vineyard,

and the Lord had preserved unto himself

that the trees had become again the natural fruit;

and they became like unto one body; and the fruits were equal;

and the Lord of the vineyard had preserved unto himself the natural fruit,

which was most precious unto him from the beginning.
