James 5:7-12 - Exhortation To Patience

7 Be patient therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See, the husbandman waits for the precious fruit of the earth, in patient expectation for it, till it receives the former and the latter rain. 8 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts; for the coming of the Lord is at hand.

9 Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest be ye condemned: lo! the judge standeth at the gates.

10 My brethren, take a pattern for suffering affliction, and patience from the prophets, who have spoken to you in the name of the Lord. 11 Behold, we esteem those blessed who patiently endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; for the Lord is full of bowels of mercy, and tenderly compassionate.

12 But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, nor by earth, nor by any other oath: but let your yea be yea, and your no, no; that ye fall not under condemnation.
