* Come now , rich ones , weep , howling over your hardships coming on . * Your riches have rotted , and your garments have become moth-eaten . * Your gold and silver have rusted over , and their poison will be a testimony to you , and will eat your flesh as fire . You heaped treasure in the last days . * Behold , the wages of the workmen who have reaped your fields cry out , being kept back by you . And the cries of the ones who have reaped have entered "into the ears of the Lord of Hosts ." Isaiah . strkjv @5:9 * You lived luxuriously on the earth , and lived in self gratification ; you nourished your hearts as in a day of slaughter ; * you condemned ; you murdered the righteous ; he does not resist you . * Therefore , brothers , be long-suffering until the coming of the Lord . Behold , the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth , being long-suffering over it until it may receive the early and the latter rain . * You also be long-suffering . Set your hearts firmly , because the coming of the Lord has drawn near . * Do not murmur against one another , brothers , that you not be condemned . Behold , the Judge stands before the door . * My brothers , as an example of suffering ill , and of longsuffering , take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord . * Behold , we call those blessed who endure . You have heard of the patience of Job , and you saw the end of the Lord , "that the Lord is full of tender mercy and pity ." Psa . strkjv @103:8 * But before all things , my brothers , do not swear , neither by the heaven , nor by the earth , nor any other oath . But let your yes be yes , and the no , no , that you may not fall under judgment . * Does anyone suffer ill among you ? Let him pray . Is anyone cheerful ? Let him praise in song . * Is any among you sick ? Let him call the elders of the church , and let them pray over him , anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord . * And the prayer of faith will cure those being sick , and the Lord will raise him up . And if he may have committed sin , it will be forgiven him . * Confess faults to one another , and pray for one another , that you may be healed . The prayer of a righteous one has great strength , having been made effective . * Elijah was a man of like feeling to us , and he prayed in prayer for it not to rain ; and it did not rain on the earth three years and six months . * And he prayed again , and the heaven gave rain , and the earth caused its fruit to sprout . * If anyone among you goes astray from the truth , brothers , and anyone turns him back , * know that the one turning a sinner from the error of his way will save the soul from death , and will hide a multitude of sins .
