James 5:7-12 - Exhortation To Patience

7 Be patient, therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waits for the precious fruit of the earth; being patient over it, until it receives the early and latter rain. 8 Be ye also patient; establish your hearts, because the coming of the Lord has drawn near.

9 Murmur not against one another, brethren, that ye be not judged: behold, The Judge has taken His stand before the doors!

10 Take, brethren, as an example of suffering and of patience, the prophets, who spake in the name of the Lord. 11 Behold, we pronounce those happy who endured: ye heard of the patience of Job; and ye saw the end of the Lord, that the Lord is full of pity, and merciful.

12 But above all things, my brethren, swear not, either by Heaven, or by earth, or by any other oath; but let yours be "the yes, yes," and "the no, no"; that ye fall not under condemnation.
