Jacob 4:10

Wherefore, brethren, seek not to counsel the Lord,

but to take counsel from his hand.

For behold, ye yourselves know that he counseleth

in wisdom, and in justice, and in great mercy, over all his works.

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.

and stumble because of my over anxiety for you.

which are beginning to wither away,

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

Wherefore, let us take of the branches of these

which I have planted in the nethermost parts of my vineyard,

and graft in the natural branches of the tree in the stead thereof.

Pluck not the wild branches from the trees, save it be those which are most bitter;

which are ripened, that must perish,

and cast them into the fire.

And thus they labored, with all diligence,

according to the commandments of the Lord of the vineyard,

even until the bad had been cast away out of the vineyard,

that the trees had become again the natural fruit;

and they became like unto one body; and the fruits were equal;

and the Lord of the vineyard had preserved unto himself the natural fruit,

which was most precious unto him from the beginning.
