Jacob 5:7, 58

Jacob 4:1

Now behold, it came to pass that

I, Jacob, having ministered much unto my people in word,

(and I cannot write but a little of my words,

because of the difficulty of engraving our words upon plates)

and we know that the things which we write upon plates must remain;

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 4:4

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 4:6

Wherefore, we search the prophets,

and we have many revelations and the spirit of prophecy;

and having all these witnesses

we obtain a hope, and our faith becometh unshaken,

insomuch that we truly can command in the name of Jesus

and the very trees obey us, or the mountains, or the waves of the sea.

Jacob 5:7

And it came to pass that the master of the vineyard saw it,

and he said unto his servant:

It grieveth me that I should lose this tree;

wherefore, go and pluck the branches from a wild olive tree,

and bring them hither unto me;

and we will pluck off those main branches

which are beginning to wither away,

and we will cast them into the fire that they may be burned.

Jacob 5:58

and we will nourish again the trees of the vineyard,

and we will trim up the branches thereof;

and we will pluck from the trees those branches

which are ripened, that must perish,

and cast them into the fire.
