* Go to (5720 ) now , ye rich men , weep (5657 ) and howl (5723 ) for your miseries that shall come upon (5740 ) you . * Your riches are corrupted (5754 ), and your garments are (5754 ) motheaten . * Your gold and silver is cankered (5769 ); and the rust of them shall be (5704 ) a witness against you , and shall eat (5695 ) your flesh as it were fire . Ye have heaped treasure together (5656 ) for the last days . * Behold (5628 ), the hire of the labourers who have reaped down (5660 ) your fields , which is of you kept back by fraud (5772 ), crieth (5719 ): and the cries of them which have reaped (5660 ) are entered (5754 ) into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth . * Ye have lived in pleasure (5656 ) on the earth , and been wanton (5656 ); ye have nourished (5656 ) your hearts , as in a day of slaughter . * Ye have condemned (5656 ) and killed (5656 ) the just ; and he doth not resist (5731 ) you . * Be patient (5657 ) therefore , brethren , unto the coming of the Lord . Behold (5628 ), the husbandman waiteth (5736 ) for the precious fruit of the earth , and hath long patience (5723 ) for it , until he receive (5632 ) the early and latter rain . * Be ye also patient (5657 ); stablish (5657 ) your hearts : for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh (5758 ). * Grudge (5720 ) not one against another , brethren , lest ye be condemned (5686 ): behold (5628 ), the judge standeth (5707 ) before the door . * Take (5628 ), my brethren , the prophets , who have spoken (5656 ) in the name of the Lord , for an example of suffering affliction , and of patience . * Behold (5628 ), we count them happy (5719 ) which endure (5723 ). Ye have heard (5656 ) of the patience of Job , and have seen (5627 ) the end of the Lord ; that the Lord is (5748 ) very pitiful , and of tender mercy . * But above all things , my brethren , swear (5720 ) not , neither by heaven , neither by the earth , neither by any other oath : but let your yea be (5749 ) yea ; and your nay , nay ; lest ye fall (5632 ) into condemnation . * Is any among you afflicted (5719 )? let him pray (5737 ). Is any merry (5719 )? let him sing psalms (5720 ). * Is any sick (5719 ) among you ? let him call (5663 ) for the elders of the church ; and let them pray (5663 ) over him , anointing (5660 ) him with oil in the name of the Lord : * And the prayer of faith shall save (5692 ) the sick (5723 ), and the Lord shall raise him up (5692 ); and if he have (5753 ) committed (5761 ) sins , they shall be forgiven (5701 ) him . * Confess (5732 ) your faults one to another , and pray (5737 ) one for another , that ye may be healed (5686 ). The effectual fervent (5734 ) prayer of a righteous man availeth (5719 ) much . * Elias was (5713 ) a man subject to like passions as we are , and he prayed (5662 ) earnestly that it might not rain (5658 ): and it rained (5656 ) not on the earth by the space of three years and six months . * And he prayed (5662 ) again , and the heaven gave (5656 ) rain , and the earth brought forth (5656 ) her fruit . * Brethren , if any of you do err (5686 ) from the truth , and one convert (5661 ) him ; * Let him know (5720 ), that he which converteth (5660 ) the sinner from the error of his way shall save (5692 ) a soul from death , and shall hide (5692 ) a multitude of sins .
