despise not the revelations of God.

      Jacob 4:9

       9 For behold, by the power of his word man came upon the face of

      the earth, which earth was created by the power of his word.

      Wherefore, if God being able to speak and the world was, and to

      speak and man was created, O then, why not able to command the

      earth, or the workmanship of his hands upon the face of it,

      according to his will and pleasure?

      Jacob 4:10

       10 Wherefore, brethren, seek not to counsel the Lord, but to

      take counsel from his hand. For behold, ye yourselves know that

      he counseleth in wisdom, and in justice, and in great mercy, over

      all his works.

      Jacob 4:11

       11 Wherefore, beloved brethren, be reconciled unto him through

      the atonement of Christ, his Only Begotten Son, and ye may obtain

      a resurrection, according to the power of the resurrection which

      is in Christ, and be presented as the first-fruits of Christ unto

      God, having faith, and obtained a good hope of glory in him

      before he manifesteth himself in the flesh.

      Jacob 4:12

       12 And now, beloved, marvel not that I tell you these things;

      for why not speak of the atonement of Christ, and attain to a

      perfect knowledge of him, as to attain to the knowledge of a

      resurrection and the world to come?

      Jacob 4:13

       13 Behold, my brethren, he that prophesieth, let him prophesy to

      the understanding of men; for the Spirit speaketh the truth and

      lieth not. Wherefore, it speaketh of things as they really are,

      and of things as they really will be; wherefore, these things are

      manifested unto us plainly, for the salvation of our souls. But

      behold, we are not witnesses alone in these things; for God also

      spake them unto prophets of old.

      Jacob 4:14

       14 But behold, the Jews were a stiffnecked people; and they

      despised the words of plainness, and killed the prophets, and

      sought for things that they could not understand. Wherefore,

      because of their blindness, which blindness came by looking

      beyond the mark, they must needs fall; for God hath taken away

      his plainness from them, and delivered unto them many things

      which they cannot understand, because they desired it. And

      because they desired it God hath done it, that they may stumble.

      Jacob 4:15

       15 And now I, Jacob, am led on by the Spirit unto prophesying;

      for I perceive by the workings of the Spirit which is in me, that

      by the stumbling of the Jews they will reject the stone upon

      which they might build and have safe foundation.

      Jacob 4:16

       16 But behold, according to the scriptures, this stone shall

      become the great, and the last, and the only sure foundation,

      upon which the Jews can build.

      Jacob 4:17

       17 And now, my beloved, how is it possible that these, after

      having rejected the sure foundation, can ever build upon it, that

      it may become the head of their corner?

      Jacob 4:18

       18 Behold, my beloved brethren, I will unfold this mystery unto

      you; if I do not, by any means, get shaken from my firmness in

      the Spirit, and stumble because of my over anxiety for you.

      Jacob 5 Chapter 5

      Jacob 5:1

       1 Behold, my brethren, do ye not remember to have read the words

      of the prophet Zenos, which he spake unto the house of Israel,

      saying:
