Jacob 3:41 - Jacob 3:51
41 And these which I have plucked off, I will cast into the fire, and burn them, that they may not cumber the ground of my vineyard.
42 And it came to pass that the servant of the Lord of the vineyard, did according to the word of the Lord of the vineyard, and grafted in the branches of the wild olive tree.
43 And the Lord of the vineyard caused that it should be digged about, and pruned, and nourished, saying unto his servant, It grieveth me that I should lose this tree;
44 Wherefore, that perhaps I might preserve the roots thereof that they perish not, that I might preserve them unto myself I have done this thing.
45 Wherefore, go thy way; watch the tree, and nourish it, according to my words.
46 And these will I place in the nethermost part of my vineyard, whithersoever I will, it mattereth not unto thee;
47 And I do it, that I may preserve unto myself the natural branches of the tree; and also, that I may lay up fruit thereof, against the season, unto myself: for it grieveth me that I should lose this tree, and the fruit thereof.
48 And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard went his way, and hid the natural branches of the tame olive tree in the nethermost parts of the vineyard; some in one, and some in another, according to his will and pleasure.
49 And it came to pass that a long time passed away, and the Lord of the vineyard said unto his servant, Come, let us go down into the vineyard, that we may labor in the vineyard.
50 And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard, and also the servant, went down into the vineyard to labor.
51 And it came to pass that the servant said unto his master, Behold, look here; behold the tree.
