5:75 And it came to pass that when the Lord of the vineyard saw that
his fruit was good, and that his vineyard was no more corrupt, he
called up his servants, and said unto them: Behold, for this last time
have we nourished my vineyard; and thou beholdest that I have done
according to my will; and I have preserved the natural fruit, that it
is good, even like as it was in the beginning. And blessed art thou;
for because ye have been diligent in laboring with me in my vineyard,
and have kept my commandments, and have brought unto me again the
natural fruit, that my vineyard is no more corrupted, and the bad is
cast away, behold ye shall have joy with me because of the fruit of my
vineyard.
5:76 For behold, for a long time will I lay up of the fruit of my
vineyard unto mine own self against the season, which speedily cometh;
and for the last time have I nourished my vineyard, and pruned it, and
dug about it, and dunged it; wherefore I will lay up unto mine own self
of the fruit, for a long time, according to that which I have spoken.
5:77 And when the time cometh that evil fruit shall again come into my
vineyard, then will I cause the good and the bad to be gathered; and
the good will I preserve unto myself, and the bad will I cast away into
its own place. And then cometh the season and the end; and my vineyard
will I cause to be burned with fire.
Jacob Chapter 6
6:1 And now, behold, my brethren, as I said unto you that I would
prophesy, behold, this is my prophecy—that the things which this
prophet Zenos spake, concerning the house of Israel, in the which he
likened them unto a tame olive-tree, must surely come to pass.
6:2 And the day that he shall set his hand again the second time to
recover his people, is the day, yea, even the last time, that the
servants of the Lord shall go forth in his power, to nourish and prune
his vineyard; and after that the end soon cometh.
6:3 And how blessed are they who have labored diligently in his
vineyard; and how cursed are they who shall be cast out into their own
place! And the world shall be burned with fire.
6:4 And how merciful is our God unto us, for he remembereth the house
of Israel, both roots and branches; and he stretches forth his hands
unto them all the day long; and they are a stiffnecked and a gainsaying
people; but as many as will not harden their hearts shall be saved in
the kingdom of God.
6:5 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, I beseech of you in words of
soberness that ye would repent, and come with full purpose of heart,
and cleave unto God as he cleaveth unto you. And while his arm of mercy
is extended towards you in the light of the day, harden not your
hearts.
6:6 Yea, today, if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts; for
why will ye die?
6:7 For behold, after ye have been nourished by the good word of God
all the day long, will ye bring forth evil fruit, that ye must be hewn
down and cast into the fire?
