CHAPTER 5

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?

b	Isa. 9: 12 (12, 17, 21). 12 The Syrians ^abefore, and the Philistines ^bbehind; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his ^canger is not turned away, but his ^dhand is ^estretched out still.
c	2 Ne. 19: 17 (17-21). 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. 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 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.
