Jacob 7:2

And it came to pass that he began to preach among the people,

and to declare unto them that there should be no Christ.

And he preached many things which were flattering unto the people;

and this he did that he might overthrow the doctrine of Christ.

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 7:7

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 7:17

And it came to pass that on the morrow the multitude were gathered together;

and he spake plainly unto them and denied the things which he had taught them,

and confessed the Christ, and the power of the Holy Ghost,

and the ministering of angels.

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 7:27

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.
