* Come now ! ye wealthy ! Weep ye , howling , for your hardships which are coming upon you : * Your wealth , hath rotted , and , your garments , have become , moth-eaten , * Your gold and silver , have rusted away , and , their rust , shall be , witness against you , and shall eat your flesh , as fire ! Ye have laid up treasure in days of extremity : * Lo , the wage of the workers who have out down your fieldsthat which hath been kept back , by you , is crying out ; and , the outcries of them who reaped , into the ears of the Lord of hosts , have entered : * Ye have luxuriated upon the land , and run riot , ye have pampered your hearts in a day of slaughter ; * Ye sentencedye murdered the Righteous one ! Is he not arraying himself against you ? * Be patient , therefore , brethren , until the Presence of the Lord : Lo ! the husbandman , awaiteth the precious fruit of the earth , having patience for it , until it receive the early and the latter rain : * Be , ye also , patient , Stablish your hearts , because , the Presence of the Lord , hath drawn near . * Be not sighing , brethren , one against another , lest ye be judged , Lo ! the Judge , before the doors , is standing . * An example , take ye , brethren , of distress and patience , the prophets who have spoken in the name of the Lord . * Lo ! we pronounce them happy who have endured ; Of the endurance of Job , ye have heard , and , the end of the Lord , have ye seen , that , of much tender affection , is the Lord , and full of compassion , * But , before all things , my brethren , do not swear , either by heaven , or by the earth , or by any other oath ; but let your Yea be yea , and your Nay nay , lest , under judgment , ye fall . * In distress , is any among you ? Let him pray ; Cheerful , is any ? Let him strike the strings ; * Sick , is any among you ? Let him call unto him the elders of the assembly , and let them pray for him , anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord ; * And , the prayer of faith , shall save the exhausted one , and the Lord will raise him up , and , if he have committed , sins , it shall be forgiven him . * Be openly confessing , therefore , one to another , your sins , and be praying in each others behalf , that ye may be healed . Much availeth , the supplication of a righteous man , when it is energised : * Elijah , was , a man , affected like us ; and he earnestly prayed that there might be no moisture , and there was no moisture on the land , for three years and six months , * And , again , he prayed , and , the heaven , gave , rain , and , the land , shot up her fruit . * My brethren ! If one among you be led to err from the truth , and one turn him back , * Be ye taking notethat , he that turneth back a sinner out of the error of his waywill save his soul out of death , and hide a multitude of sins .
