Jacob 4:13

Behold, my brethren, he that prophesieth,

let him prophesy to the understanding of men;

for the Spirit speaketh the truth and lieth not.

Wherefore, it speaketh of things as they really are,

and of things as they really will be;

wherefore, these things are manifested unto us plainly,

for the salvation of our souls.

but behold, we are not witnesses alone in these things;

for God also spake them unto prophets of old.

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 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 5:6

And it came to pass that after many days

it began to put forth somewhat a little, young and tender branches;

but behold, the main top thereof began to perish.

Jacob 5:23

And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard said unto his servant:

Look hither; behold I have planted another branch of the tree also;

and thou knowest that this spot of ground was poorer than the first.

But, behold the tree.

I have nourished it this long time,

and it hath brought forth much fruit;

therefore, gather it, and lay it up against the season,

that I may preserve it unto mine own self.

Jacob 5:27

but behold, the servant said unto him:

Let us prune it, and dig about it, and nourish it a little longer,

that perhaps it may bring forth good fruit unto thee,

that thou canst lay it up against the season.

Jacob 5:32

but behold, this time it hath brought forth much fruit,

and there is none of it which is good.

And behold, there are all kinds of bad fruit;

and it profiteth me nothing, notwithstanding all our labor;

and now it grieveth me that I should lose this tree.

Jacob 5:37

but behold, the wild branches have grown and have overrun the roots thereof;

and because that the wild branches have overcome the roots thereof

it hath brought forth much evil fruit;

and because that it hath brought forth so much evil fruit

thou beholdest that it beginneth to perish;

and it will soon become ripened,

that it may be cast into the fire,

except we should do something for it to preserve it.

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 5:50

But, behold, the servant said unto the Lord of the vineyard:

Spare it a little longer.
