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 7:8

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

insomuch that I did confound him in all his words.

Jacob 7:14

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.

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 7:26

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.

Jacob 7:27

And I, Jacob, saw that I must soon go down to my grave;

wherefore, I said unto my son Enos:

Take these plates.

And I told him the things which my brother Nephi had commanded me,

and he promised obedience unto the commands.

And I make an end of my writing upon these plates,

which writing has been small;

and to the reader I bid farewell,

hoping that many of my brethren may read my words.

Brethren, adieu.
