Jacob 7:3

insomuch that he did lead away many hearts;

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;

in very word, from time to time;

wherefore, I could not be shaken.

Show me a sign by this power of the Holy Ghost,

in the which ye know so much.

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.

Nevertheless, not my will be done;

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.

And it came to pass that many means were devised

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

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

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

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.
