James 5:7-12 - Exhortation To Patience

⁷ Wait patiently therefore, my brethren, till the coming of the Lord: behold the husbandman expecteth the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it, till he receive the former and the latter rain. ⁸ Be ye also patient, establish your hearts; for the coming of the Lord is near.

⁹ Repine not, my brethren, against each other, that ye be not condemned: behold, the judge is at the door.

¹⁰ Take for an example of enduring evil and of long-suffering the prophets, who spake in the name of the Lord. ¹¹ Behold, we account those happy, that are patient. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord, that the Lord is very compassionate and merciful.

¹² But above all, my brethren, swear not; neither by heaven, nor by the earth, nor any other oath: but let your yea be yea, and your nay nay; that ye may not fall under condemnation.
