| 138 | v24 Doth | (v7b) Know ye not |
| 139 | the plowman | that I, the Lord your God, |
| 140 | plow all day | have created all men, |
| 141 | to sow? | and that I remember those who are upon the isles of the sea; |
Know ye not that I, the Lord your God, am the plowman; that I have created all men, plowing all day; and that I remember those whom I have sown upon the isles of the sea?
| 142 | doth he | and that I |
Yea, I am he that doeth it.

rule in the heavens
above
[See "open" & "heavens" Isa. 45:8; Mal. 3:10; John 1:51; 1 Ne. 1:8; 11:30; 12:6; Hel. 3:28; 5:48; 3 Ne. 17:24; Mos. 7:2-4.] |
| 144
|
and break the clods
of his ground?
|
and in the earth beneath;
[See "break" & "earth" Lev. 26:15-19; Dan. 7:23; Ezk. 13:14,10,16; Hos. 10:10-13; 2:18; Jer. 4:1-4; 3 Ne. 28:20.] |
I rule in the heavens above, and I open the heavens at will, and break the clods of the earth beneath, preparing my ground.
| 145 | v25 When he | and I |
Yea, then shall ye know that I am he.
| 146 |
hath made plain
[See "plain" & "word": 2 Ne. 32:7; 1:26.] |
bring forth my word unto the children of men, |
I bring forth my words, making them plain unto the children of men.
| 147 | the face thereof, |
yea, even upon all the nations of the earth? |
Yea, I will show my face unto all the nations of the earth thereof. Have I not made plain that I can bring forth my word unto the children of men, yea, even to all the nations upon the face of the earth?
| 148 | doth he not | v8 Wherefore murmur ye, |
| 149 | a cast abroad b the fitches, a and scatter b the cummin, |
a because that ye shall receive
more b of my word? |
Wherefore murmur ye, because I sprinkle and scatter abroad my word as fennel and cummin, that ye shall receive more? Know ye not that the testimony of two nations is a witness unto you that I am God?
| 150 | • and cast in the principal
wheat • and the appointed barley |
Know ye not that the testimony of two nations is a witness unto you that I am God, |
| 151
|
and
the rie
|
a that I remember b one nation c like unto another? a Wherefore, I speak the same words unto b one nation c like unto another. |
For just as I not cast in the principal wheat and the appointed barley? Yea, and I plant buckwheat; so also will I remember one nation like unto another, wherefore I speak the same words unto one nation like unto another, each in their appointed field of my vineyard.
| 152
|
in their place?
|
a And when the
two nations b shall run together a the testimony of the two nations b shall run together also. |
And when the two nations shall run together, the testimony of two nations shall run together also, each in their place.

v26 For his
God
|
v9 And I do this that I may prove unto many that I AM the same yesterday, today, and forever; |
And I do this that I may prove unto many that I am the Lord your God, the same yesterday, today, and forever;

him
[See "him" & "pleasure" Ps. 147:10,11; Isa. 48:17,18; 53:10-12; 1 Ne. 16:38; Alma 17:20,35.] |
according to mine own
pleasure.
|
and that I speak forth my words to instruct, according to mine own pleasure, unto him having discretion, who does not suppose that because I have spoken one word I cannot speak another.
| 156
|
to discretion,
|
a And because
that b I have spoken one word a ye need not suppose that b I cannot speak another; |
And I do this that I may prove unto many that I am the Lord your God, the same yesterday, today, and forever; and that I speak forth my words to instruct, according to mine own pleasure, unto him having discretion, who does not suppose that because I have spoken one word I cannot speak another.
| 157
|
and doth teach him.
|
• for my work is
not yet finished; • neither shall it be until the end of man, • neither from that time henceforth and forever. |
Him I will teach, for my work is not yet finished; neither shall it be until
the end of
man, neither from that time henceforth and forever.
| 158 | v27 For the fitches | v10 Wherefore, because that ye have a Bible |
| 159 | are not | ye need not suppose |
| 160 | threshed with a threshing instrument, | that it contains all my words; |
| 161 | neither | neither need ye suppose |
| 162 | is a cart wheel turned about upon | that I have not caused more |
| 163 | the cummin; | to be written. |
Wherefore, because that ye have a Bible, which is as my fennel, ye need not suppose that it contains all my words--no more than fennel should be threshed with a sharp-toothed sledge; neither need ye suppose that I have not caused more to be written, such as my cummin, which likewise should not have a cart wheel rolled over it. Each has its purpose, for a peculiar people, requiring its peculiar message.
| 164
|
but the fitches
|
v11 For I command all men, • both in the east • and in the west, • and in the north, • and in the south, • and in the islands of the sea, that they shall write |
For as each grain is unique, such as fitches compared to cummin, I command all men, both in the east and in the west, and in the north, and in the south, and in the islands of the sea, that they shall write.

are beaten out with
a staff,
[See "staff" & "word": 1 Chron. 15:13-15; Deut. 31:25-29; Mal. 3:3; D&C 13:1; Also D&C 11:2; Alma 31:4; Ps. 23:4.] |
the words which I speak
unto them;
|
For as fennel is beaten out with a staff, yielding its fruit, so will the words which I speak unto these various peoples come forth from the furnace of affliction;
| 166
|
and the cummin with
a rod.
[See "rod" & "judge" Isa. 11:4; Ezk. 20:37.] |
a for out
of the books which shall be written b I will judge the world, b every man according to their works, a according to that which is written. |
and as cummin is beaten with a rod, so it is with the rod of my mouth ; for out of the books which shall be written, I will judge the world, every man according to their works.
| 167
|
v28 Break corn is
bruised;
[AGT renders this: "Domestic grain is ground;"]
|
a v12 For behold, I
shall speak b unto the Jews c and they shall write it; a and I shall also speak b unto the Nephites c and they shall write it; a and I shall also speak b unto the other tribes of the house of Israel, b which I have led away, c and they shall write it; a and I shall also speak b unto all nations of the earth c and they shall write it. |
For behold, I shall speak unto the Jews, and unto the Nephites, and unto the other tribes of the house of Israel which I have led away, and unto all nations of the earth--those who are as my domestic grain, my bread corn--and they shall write it.
| 168
|
because he will not ever be
threshing it,
|
v13 And it shall come to pass a that the Jews b shall have the words c of the Nephites, a and the Nephites b shall have the words c of the Jews; a and the Nephites and the Jews b shall have the words c of the lost tribes of Israel; a and the lost tribes of Israel b shall have the words c of the Nephites and the Jews. |
I will not ever be threshing it, but it shall be ground for good use and combined in the ingredients of meal. So also shall it come to pass that the Jews, and the Nephites, and the lost tribes of Israel shall each have the words of one another.
| 169
|
• nor break it
with the wheel of his cart, • nor bruise it with his horsemen. |
v14 And it shall come to pass that my people, which are the house of Israel, shall be gathered home unto the lands of their possessions; |
And it shall come to pass that I shall be done with breaking and bruising my grains with the wheel of my cart and with my horsemen; and my people, which are of the house of Israel, shall be gathered home unto the lands of their possessions.
| 170 | v29 This also | and my word also |
| 171 | cometh forth | shall be gathered |
| 172 | from the Lord | in one. |
And my additional words which cometh forth shall be gathered in one, which came from the Lord, for he is one, and there shall be one fold and one shepherd over all the earth.

of hosts,
|
And I will show unto them
that fight • against my word • and against my people, |
| 174 | which is wonderful | who are of the house of Israel, |
| 175 | in counsel, | that I AM God, |
| 176 | and excellent | and that I covenanted with Abraham |
And I will show unto the hosts of them that fight against my abundant word, and against my great and marvelous work, and against the hosts of my people, who are of the house of Israel, whose promises are wonderful, and against my counsels, that I am God whose counsel shall stand because of the excellent covenant I covenanted with Abraham;
| 177 | in working. | that I would remember his seed forever. |
and that I will work my work in remembering his seed forever.
