James 5:7-12 - Exhortation To Patience

7 Wait patiently therefore, brothers, till the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waits for the precious fruit of the earth, and is of long patience, till he receives the autumnal and vernal rain. 8 Do you also have long patience, confirm your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.

9 Complain not, brothers, against one another, that you be not judged; behold, the judge stands before the doors.

10 You have the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord, my brothers, as an example of patience and long-suffering. 11 Behold, we account them blessed who are patient. You have heard of the patience of Job, and you know the purpose of the Lord, that he is very merciful and compassionate.

12 Above all things, my brothers, swear not, neither by heaven, nor the earth, nor any other oath. But let your yes be yes, and your no, no, that you may not fall under condemnation.
