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;

And I said unto him:

What am I that I should tempt God to show unto thee a sign

in the thing which thou knowest to be true?

Yet thou wilt deny it, because thou art of the devil.

but if God shall smite thee, let that be a sign unto thee

that he has power, both in heaven and in earth;

and also, that Christ shall come.

And thy will, O Lord, be done, and not mine.

I fear lest I have committed the unpardonable sin,

for I have lied unto God;

and they truly testify of him.

I greatly fear lest my case shall be awful;

but I confess unto God.

and they were overcome that they fell to the earth.

with their arms, and with all their might,
