James 4:8

Subject Yourselves To God

⁷ Range yourselves, therefore, under God, but withstand the adversary, and he will flee from you: ⁸ Draw near unto God, and he will draw near unto you. Cleanse hands, sinners! Chasten hearts, double souls! ⁹ Be miserable and lament and weep, let, your laughter, into lamentation, be turned, and, your joy, into dejection;
