Behold, I say unto you, my servants ^aEzra and Northrop, open ye your ears and hearken to the voice of the Lord your God, whose ^bword is quick and powerful, sharper than a two-edged sword, to the dividing asunder of the joints and marrow, soul and spirit; and is a discerner of the thoughts and ^cintents of the heart.

 2 For verily, verily, I say unto you that ye are called to lift up your voices as with the ^asound of a trump, to declare my gospel unto a crooked and ^bperverse generation.

 3 For behold, the ^afield is ^bwhite already to harvest; and it is the ^celeventh hour, and the last time that I shall call ^dlaborers into my vineyard.

 4 And my ^avineyard has become ^bcorrupted every whit; and there is none which doeth ^cgood save it be a few; and they ^derr in many instances because of ^epriestcrafts, all having corrupt minds.

 5 And verily, verily, I say unto you, that this ^achurch have I ^bestablished and called forth out of the ^cwilderness.

 6 And even so will I ^agather mine elect from the ^bfour quarters of the earth, even as many as will believe in me, and hearken unto my voice.

 7 Yea, verily, verily, I say unto you, that the field is ^awhite already to harvest; wherefore, thrust in your sickles, and reap with all your might, mind, and strength.

 8 ^aOpen your mouths and they shall be filled, and you shall become even as ^bNephi of old, who journeyed from Jerusalem in the wilderness.
