Jacob 4:16

But behold, according to the scriptures,

this stone shall become the great, and the last, and the only sure foundation,

upon which the Jews can build.

Jacob 5:17

And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard looked

and beheld the tree in the which the wild olive branches had been grafted;

and it had sprung forth and begun to bear fruit.

And he beheld that it was good;

and the fruit thereof was like unto the natural fruit.

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.
