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 5:41

And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard wept,

and said unto the servant:

What could I have done more for my vineyard?

Jacob 5:47

But what could I have done more in my vineyard?

Have I slackened mine hand, that I have not nourished it?

Nay, I have nourished it, and I have digged about it,

and I have pruned it, and I have dunged it;

and I have stretched forth mine hand almost all the day long,

and the end draweth nigh.

And it grieveth me that I should hew down all the trees of my vineyard,

and cast them into the fire that they should be burned.

Who is it that has corrupted my vineyard?

Jacob 5:49

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

Let us go to and hew down the trees of the vineyard and cast them into the fire,

that they shall not cumber the ground of my vineyard,

for I have done all.

What could I have done more for my vineyard?
