James 5:11

Exhortation To Patience

¹⁰ Take as an example, brethren, of suffering and having patience, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord. ¹¹ Behold, we call them blessed who have endured. Ye have heard of the endurance of Job, and seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is full of tender compassion and pitiful. ¹² But before 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 do not fall under judgment.
