James:5:7-12

*
Therefore be patient ,
brothers ,
until the coming of the Lord .
See how the farmer awaits for the precious fruit of the earth ,
being patient for it ,
until it receives the early and late rain .
*
You also be patient .
Establish your hearts ,
because the coming of the Lord has drawn near .
*
Do not murmur against one another ,
brothers ,
lest you be judged .
Behold ,
the Judge stands before the doors !
*
My brothers ,
take the prophets ,
who spoke in the name of the Lord ,
as an example of evil suffering and of longsuffering .
*
Indeed we count those blessed who endure .
You have heard of the patience of Job ,
and you saw the end of the Lord-that He is compassionate and He is merciful .
*
But above all ,
my brothers ,
do not swear ,
neither by heaven nor the earth ,
nor any other oath .
But let your "
Yes "
be "
Yes ,"
and [
your ] "
No ,""
No ,"
so that you may not fall into hypocrisy .
