Jacob 7:5

And he had hope to shake me from the faith,

notwithstanding the many revelations

and the many things which I had seen concerning these things;

for I truly had seen angels, and they had ministered unto me.

And also, I had heard the voice of the Lord speaking unto me

in very word, from time to time;

wherefore, I could not be shaken.

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 7:11

Then ye do not understand them;

for they truly testify of Christ.

Behold, I say unto you

that none of the prophets have written, nor prophesied,

save they have spoken concerning this Christ.

Jacob 7:12

And this is not all —

it has been made manifest unto me,

for I have heard and seen;

and it also has been made manifest unto me

by the power of the Holy Ghost;

wherefore, I know if there should be no atonement made

all mankind must be lost.

Jacob 7:15

And it came to pass that when I, Jacob, had spoken these words,

the power of the Lord came upon him,

insomuch that he fell to the earth.

And it came to pass that he was nourished for the space of many days.

And it came to pass that he said unto the people:

Gather together on the morrow, for I shall die;

wherefore, I desire to speak unto the people before I shall die.

Jacob 7:19

And he said:

I fear lest I have committed the unpardonable sin,

for I have lied unto God;

for I denied the Christ, and said that I believed the scriptures;

and they truly testify of him.

And because I have thus lied unto God

I greatly fear lest my case shall be awful;

but I confess unto God.

Jacob 7:22

Now, this thing was pleasing unto me, Jacob,

for I had requested it of my Father who was in heaven;

for he had heard my cry and answered my prayer.

Jacob 7:24

And it came to pass that many means were devised

to reclaim and restore the Lamanites to the knowledge of the truth;

but it all was vain,

for they delighted in wars and bloodshed,

and they had an eternal hatred against us, their brethren.

And they sought by the power of their arms to destroy us continually.
