Jacob 5:36
Nevertheless, I know that the roots are good,
and for mine own purpose I have preserved them;
and because of their much strength
they have hitherto brought forth, from the wild branches, good fruit.
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 5:48
And it came to pass that the servant said unto his master:
Is it not the loftiness of thy vineyard —
have not the branches thereof overcome the roots which are good?
And because the branches have overcome the roots thereof,
behold they grew faster than the strength of the roots,
taking strength unto themselves.
Behold, I say,
is not this the cause
that the trees of thy vineyard have become corrupted?
