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 7:12

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.

Jacob 7:16

And it came to pass that he said unto the people:

Gather together on the morrow, for I shall die;

wherefore, I desire to speak unto the people before I shall die.

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.
