James 5:7-12 - Exhortation To Patience

7 Therefore, O brethren, suffer long, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer receives the precious fruit of the earth, waiting for it, until he may receive the former and latter rain: 8 you also suffer long; establish your hearts; because the coming of the Lord is nigh.

9 Do not complain against one another, brethren, in order that you may not be judged: behold, the judge stands before the doors.

10 Brethren, receive the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord as an example of suffering evil and longsuffering. 11 Behold, we pronounce them happy who have endured: you have heard the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord, because the Lord is very merciful, and sympathetic.

12 But, my brethren, before all, swear not, neither by heaven, or by earth, or any other oath: but let your conversation be yes yes; and no no; lest you may fall under condemnation.
