Jacob 7:2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 25, 26



Jacob 7:2

And it came to pass that he began to preach among the people,

and to declare unto them that there should be no Christ.

And he preached many things which were flattering unto the people;

and this he did that he might overthrow the doctrine of Christ.



Jacob 7:3

And he labored diligently that he might lead away the hearts of the people,

insomuch that he did lead away many hearts;

and he knowing that I, Jacob, had faith in Christ who should come,

he sought much opportunity that he might come unto me.



Jacob 7:6

And it came to pass that he came unto me,

and on this wise did he speak unto me, saying:

Brother Jacob, I have sought much opportunity that I might speak unto you;

for I have heard and also know that thou goest about much,

preaching that which ye call the gospel, or the doctrine of Christ.



Jacob 7:7

And ye have led away much of this people

that they pervert the right way of God,

and keep not the law of Moses which is the right way;

and convert the law of Moses into the worship of a being

which ye say shall come many hundred years hence.

And now behold, I, Sherem, declare unto you that this is blasphemy;

for no man knoweth of such things;

for he cannot tell of things to come.

And after this manner did Sherem contend against me.



Jacob 7:8

But behold, the Lord God poured in his Spirit into my soul,

insomuch that I did confound him in all his words.



Jacob 7:25

Wherefore, the people of Nephi did fortify against them

with their arms, and with all their might,

trusting in the God and rock of their salvation;

wherefore, they became as yet, conquerors of their enemies.



Jacob 7:26

And it came to pass that I, Jacob, began to be old;

and the record of this people being kept on the other plates of Nephi,

wherefore, I conclude this record,

declaring that I have written according to the best of my knowledge,

by saying that the time passed away with us,

and also our lives passed away like as it were unto us a dream,

we being a lonesome and a solemn people,

wanderers, cast out from Jerusalem,

born in tribulation, in a wilderness,

and hated of our brethren, which caused wars and contentions;

wherefore, we did mourn out our days.
