* Come now , ye rich men , weep and wail for your miseries that are coming upon you . * Your riches are corrupted , and your garments are become moth –eaten ; * your gold and silver is rusted , and the rust of them will be a witness against you , and will eat your flesh as fire ; ye have heaped up treasure in the last days ! * Behold , the hire of the laborers who reaped your fields , which is fraudulently kept back by you , crieth out ; and the cries of those who reaped have entered into the ears of the Lord of Hosts . * Ye have lived in luxury on the earth , and have been given to pleasure ; ye have pampered your hearts in a day of slaughter . * Ye have condemned , ye have killed the just man ; he doth not resist you . * Be patient therefore , brethren , until the coming of the Lord . Behold , the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth , and is patient about it , until it hath received the early and latter rain . * Be ye also patient , establish your hearts , for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh . * Murmur not against each other , brethren , that ye be not judged . Behold , the Judge standeth before the door . * Take , brethren , the prophets , who spoke in the name of the Lord , for an example of affliction , and of patience . * Behold , we count those happy who have endured . Ye have heard of the patience of Job ; behold also the end of the Lord , that he is very pitiful , and of tender mercy . * But above all things , my brethren , swear not ; neither by heaven , nor by the earth , nor by any other oath ; but let your yea be yea , and your nay , nay ; that ye fall not under condemnation . * Is any among you afflicted ? let him pray . Is any cheerful ? let him sing praise . * Is any sick among you ? let him call to him 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 save the sick , and the Lord will raise him up ; even if he have committed sins , it shall be forgiven him . * Confess your trespasses to one another , and pray for one another , that ye may be healed . The earnest prayer of a righteous man availeth much . * Elijah was a man of like nature with us , and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain ; and it rained not on the earth for three years and six months ; * and again he prayed , and the heaven gave rain , and the earth brought forth her fruit . * Brethren , if any one among you be led astray from the truth , and one convert him , * let him know that he who converteth a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death , and will cover a multitude of sins .
