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.

Jacob 7:6

And it came to pass that he came unto me,

Brother Jacob, I have sought much opportunity that I might speak unto you;

preaching that which ye call the gospel, or the doctrine of Christ.

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.

Then ye do not understand them;

for they truly testify of Christ.

Behold, I say unto you

that none of the prophets have written, nor prophesied,

save they have spoken concerning this Christ.

Jacob 7:12

And this is not all —

it has been made manifest unto me,

for I have heard and seen;

and it also has been made manifest unto me

by the power of the Holy Ghost;

wherefore, I know if there should be no atonement made

all mankind must be lost.

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

in the which ye know so much.

for I had requested it of my Father who was in heaven;

for he had heard my cry and answered my prayer.

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.

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.
