D&C 89
A
Word
a
of
Wisdom,
for
the
benefit
of
the
council
of
high
priests,
assembled
in
Kirtland,
and
the
church,
and
also
the
saints
in
Zion—
2 To
be
sent
greeting;
not
by
commandment
or
constraint,
but
by
revelation
and
the
a
word
of
wisdom,
showing
forth
the
order
and
b
will
of
God
in
the
temporal
salvation
of
all
saints
in
the
last
days—
3 Given
for
a
principle
with
a
promise,
adapted
to
the
capacity
of
the
b
weak
and
the
weakest
of
all
c
saints,
who
are
or
can
be
called
saints.
4 Behold,
verily,
thus
saith
the
Lord
unto
you:
In
consequence
of
a
evils
and
designs
which
do
and
will
exist
in
the
hearts
of
b
conspiring
men
in
the
last
days,
I
have
c
warned
you,
and
forewarn
you,
by
giving
unto
you
this
word
of
wisdom
by
revelation—
5 That
inasmuch
as
any
man
a
drinketh
b
wine
or
strong
drink
among
you,
behold
it
is
not
good,
neither
meet
in
the
sight
of
your
Father,
only
in
assembling
yourselves
together
to
offer
up
your
sacraments
before
him.
6 And,
behold,
this
should
be
wine,
yea,
a
pure
wine
of
the
grape
of
the
vine,
of
your
own
make.
7 And,
again,
a
strong
drinks
are
not
for
the
belly,
but
for
the
washing
of
your
bodies.
8 And
again,
tobacco
is
not
for
the
a
body,
neither
for
the
belly,
and
is
not
good
for
man,
but
is
an
herb
for
bruises
and
all
sick
cattle,
to
be
used
with
judgment
and
skill.
9 And
again,
hot
drinks
are
not
for
the
body
or
belly.
10 And
again,
verily
I
say
unto
you,
all
wholesome
a
herbs
God
hath
ordained
for
the
constitution,
nature,
and
use
of
man—
11 Every
herb
in
the
season
thereof,
and
every
fruit
in
the
season
thereof;
all
these
to
be
used
with
a
prudence
and
b
thanksgiving.
12 Yea,
a
flesh
also
of
b
beasts
and
of
the
fowls
of
the
air,
I,
the
Lord,
have
ordained
for
the
use
of
man
with
thanksgiving;
nevertheless
they
are
to
be
used
c
sparingly;
13 And
it
is
pleasing
unto
me
that
they
should
not
be
a
used,
only
in
times
of
winter,
or
of
cold,
or
b
famine.
14 All
a
grain
is
ordained
for
the
use
of
man
and
of
beasts,
to
be
the
staff
of
life,
not
only
for
man
but
for
the
beasts
of
the
field,
and
the
fowls
of
heaven,
and
all
wild
animals
that
run
or
creep
on
the
earth;
15 And
a
these
hath
God
made
for
the
use
of
man
only
in
times
of
famine
and
excess
of
hunger.
16 All
grain
is
good
for
the
a
food
of
man;
as
also
the
b
fruit
of
the
vine;
that
which
yieldeth
fruit,
whether
in
the
ground
or
above
the
ground—
17 Nevertheless,
wheat
for
man,
and
corn
for
the
ox,
and
oats
for
the
horse,
and
rye
for
the
fowls
and
for
swine,
and
for
all
beasts
of
the
field,
and
barley
for
all
useful
animals,
and
for
mild
drinks,
as
also
other
grain.
18 And
all
saints
who
remember
to
keep
and
do
these
sayings,
walking
in
obedience
to
the
commandments,
a
shall
receive
b
health
in
their
navel
and
marrow
to
their
bones;
19 And
shall
a
find
b
wisdom
and
great
c
treasures
of
d
knowledge,
even
hidden
treasures;
20 And
shall
a
run
and
not
be
b
weary,
and
shall
walk
and
not
faint.
21 And
I,
the
Lord,
give
unto
them
a
promise,
that
the
a
destroying
angel
shall
b
pass
by
them,
as
the
children
of
Israel,
and
not
slay
them.
Amen.
