Jacob 7:7, 21, 23

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 7:21

And when the multitude had witnessed

that he spake these things as he was about to give up the ghost,

they were astonished exceedingly;

insomuch that the power of God came down upon them,

and they were overcome that they fell to the earth.

Jacob 7:23

And it came to pass that

peace and the love of God was restored again among the people;

and they searched the scriptures,

and hearkened no more to the words of this wicked man.
