Section 60: Absurdity
- This is what the Lord says to the elders of his church: I'm glad you're here. 1
- But I'm not pleased with some of you. You're afraid to open your mouths. So wo to you, because I'm angry with you.
2
- If they aren't more faithful to me, I'll take away what little they have. 3
- Because I, the Lord, rule the heavens above and the armies below. When I make up my jewels, everyone will know how powerful I am.
4
- Now about your journey. Build a craft (I don't care what kind, whatever seems good to you) and travel to St. Louis.
5
- From there, Sidney Rigdon, Joseph Smith, Jun., and Oliver Cowdery will travel to Cincinnati. 6
- In Cincinnati they will shout and lift up holy hands. 7
- Everyone else will leave St. Louis, two by two, to preach to the wicked. 8
- Edward Partridge will give some of the money that I gave him to the elders. 10
- Here's a commandment for you: Don't idle away your time while preaching to the wicked. 13
- When you get to Zion, preach to the wicked. 14
- Shake off the dust of from your feet and wash them, as a testimony against those who reject your preaching.
(But don't do it while they're watching.) 15
- Joseph Smith, Jun.'s mouth will tell Sidney Rigdon and Oliver Cowdery what to do. Then he'll tell the rest of you. Amen.
