CHAPTER 19

17 Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have ^amercy on their fatherless and ^bwidows; for ^cevery one of them is a hypocrite and an ^devildoer, and every mouth speaketh ^efolly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his ^fhand is stretched out still.

17a	TG Mercy.
b	TG Widows.
c	Micah 7: 2 (2-3) 2 The good man is perished out of the earth: and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his ^abrother with a net.
d	Prov. 1: 16. 16 For their feet run to ^aevil, and make haste to shed blood. D&C 64: 16. 16 They sought ^aevil in their hearts, and I, the Lord, ^bwithheld my Spirit. They ^ccondemned for evil that thing in which there was no evil; nevertheless I have forgiven my servant Isaac Morley.
e	Eccl. 10: 12 (1-3, 12) 12 The ^awords of a wise man’s mouth are gracious; but the lips of a ^bfool will swallow up himself. 2 Ne. 9: 28 (28-29) 28 O that cunning ^aplan of the evil one! O the ^bvainness, and the frailties, and the ^cfoolishness of men! When they are ^dlearned they think they are ^ewise, and they ^fhearken not unto the ^gcounsel of God, for they set it aside, supposing they know of themselves, wherefore, their ^hwisdom is foolishness and it profiteth them not. And they shall perish. D&C 35: 7. 7 And it shall come to pass that there shall be a great work in the land, even among the ^aGentiles, for their ^bfolly and their abominations shall be made manifest in the eyes of all people.
f	2 Ne. 28: 32. 32 ^aWo be unto the Gentiles, saith the Lord God of Hosts! For notwithstanding I shall lengthen out mine arm unto them from day to day, they will deny me; nevertheless, I will be merciful unto them, saith the Lord God, if they will repent and ^bcome unto me; for mine ^carm is lengthened out all the day long, saith the Lord God of Hosts. Jacob 5: 47. 47 But ^awhat could I have done more in my vineyard? Have I slackened mine hand, that I have not nourished it? Nay, I have nourished it, and I have digged about it, and I have pruned it, and I have dunged it; and I have ^bstretched forth mine ^chand almost all the day long, and the ^dend draweth nigh. And it grieveth me that I should hew down all the trees of my vineyard, and cast them into the fire that they should be burned. Who is it that has corrupted my vineyard? Jacob 6: 4. 4 And how merciful is our God unto us, for he remembereth the house of ^aIsrael, both roots and branches; and he stretches forth his ^bhands unto them all the day long; and they are a ^cstiffnecked and a gainsaying people; but as many as will not harden their hearts shall be saved in the kingdom of God.
