James 5:7-12 - Exhortation To Patience

7 Be patient, therefore, brethren, till the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer looks for the precious fruit of the earth, and waits patiently for it, till he receives the early and the latter rain. 8 Be you also patient, establish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draws near.

9 Indulge not in complaints against one another, brethren, lest you be condemned: behold, the judge stands before the door.

10 Take, my brethren, the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord, as an example of suffering evil, and of patience. 11 Behold, we count those happy who endure. You have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the final dealing of the Lord, that the Lord is very compassionate and merciful.

12 But above all things, my brethren, swear not, either by heaven, or by the earth, or with any other oath: but let your yes, be yes, and your no, be no, lest you fall into condemnation.
