6:3 Nevertheless, I speak unto you again; for I am desirous for the
welfare of your souls. Yea, mine anxiety is great for you; and ye
yourselves know that it ever has been. For I have exhorted you with all
diligence; and I have taught you the words of my father; and I have
spoken unto you concerning all things which are written, from the
creation of the world.
6:4 And now, behold, I would speak unto you concerning things which
are, and which are to come; wherefore, I will read you the words of
Isaiah. And they are the words which my brother has desired that I
should speak unto you. And I speak unto you for your sakes, that ye may
learn and glorify the name of your God.
6:5 And now, the words which I shall read are they which Isaiah spake
concerning all the house of Israel; wherefore, they may be likened unto
you, for ye are of the house of Israel. And there are many things which
have been spoken by Isaiah which may be likened unto you, because ye
are of the house of Israel.
6:6 And now these are the words: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I
will lift up mine hand to the Gentiles, and set up my standard to the
people; and they shall bring thy sons in their arms, and thy daughters
shall be carried upon their shoulders.
6:7 And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy
nursing mothers; they shall bow down to thee with their faces towards
the earth, and lick up the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know that I
am the Lord; for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me.
6:8 And now I, Jacob, would speak somewhat concerning these words. For
behold, the Lord has shown me that those who were at Jerusalem, from
whence we came, have been slain and carried away captive.
6:9 Nevertheless, the Lord has shown unto me that they should return
again. And he also has shown unto me that the Lord God, the Holy One of
Israel, should manifest himself unto them in the flesh; and after he
should manifest himself they should scourge him and crucify him,
according to the words of the angel who spake it unto me.
6:10 And after they have hardened their hearts and stiffened their
necks against the Holy One of Israel, behold the judgments of the Holy
One of Israel shall come upon them. And the day cometh that they shall
be smitten and afflicted.
6:11 Wherefore, after they are driven to and fro, for thus saith the
angel, many shall be afflicted in the flesh, and shall not be suffered
to perish, because of the prayers of the faithful; they shall be
scattered, and smitten, and hated; nevertheless, the Lord will be
merciful unto them, that when they shall come to the knowledge of their
Redeemer, they shall be gathered together again to the lands of their
inheritance.
