James 5:7-12 - Exhortation To Patience

7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience there upon, until he receive the early and the latter rain. 8 Be ye also patient therefore, and settle your hearts, for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.

9 Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be damned. Behold, the judge standeth before the door.

10 Take, my brethren, the prophets: for an example of suffering adversity, and of long patience, which spake in the name of the Lord. 11 Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have known what end the Lord made. For the Lord is very pitiful, and merciful.

12 But above all things, my brethren, swear not: neither by heaven, neither by earth, neither by any other oath. Let your yea be "yea," and your nay, "nay," lest ye fall into hypocrisy.
