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 bring them hither unto me;

and we will pluck off those main branches

which are beginning to wither away,

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

whither the master had hid the natural branches of the tree,

And he said unto the servant:

Take of the fruit thereof, and lay it up against the season,

that I may preserve it unto mine own self;

and it hath brought forth much fruit.

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.

that I may preserve it unto mine own self.

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 5:76

For behold, for a long time will I lay up of the fruit of my vineyard

unto mine own self against the season, which speedily cometh;

and for the last time have I nourished my vineyard,

and pruned it, and dug about it, and dunged it;

wherefore I will lay up unto mine own self of the fruit, for a long time,

according to that which I have spoken.
