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.

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 5:70

And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard sent his servant;

and the servant went and did as the Lord had commanded him,

and brought other servants; and they were few.

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.
