Jacob 5:42, 46, 48

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 5:46

And now, behold, notwithstanding all the care

which we have taken of my vineyard,

the trees thereof have become corrupted,

that they bring forth no good fruit;

and these I had hoped to preserve,

to have laid up fruit thereof against the season, unto mine own self.

But, behold, they have become like unto the wild olive tree,

and they are of no worth but to be hewn down and cast into the fire;

and it grieveth me that I should lose them.

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?
