Weep and cry aloud over the miseries that are coming on you. <span class="reftext"><a href="/james/5-2.htm"><b>2</b></a></span>Your riches have rotted and your clothing has become moth-eaten. <span class="reftext"><a href="/james/5-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>Your gold and silver have rusted and their rust will be a witness against you. It will consume your flesh like fire. It is in the last days that you have hoarded treasure! <span class="reftext"><a href="/james/5-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>Look, the pay you have held back from the workers who mowed your fields cries out against you, and the cries of the reapers have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts. <span class="reftext"><a href="/james/5-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>You have lived indulgently and luxuriously on the earth. You have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter. <span class="reftext"><a href="/james/5-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>You have condemned and murdered the righteous person, although he does not resist you.</p> <p class="title">Patience in Suffering</p><p class="bodytext"><span class="reftext"><a href="/james/5-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>So be patient, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s return. Think of how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the ground and is patient for it until it receives the early and late rains. <span class="reftext"><a href="/james/5-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>You also be patient and strengthen your hearts, for the Lord’s return is near. <span class="reftext"><a href="/james/5-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>Do not grumble against one another, brothers and sisters, so that you may not be judged. See, the judge stands before the gates! <span class="reftext"><a href="/james/5-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>As an example of suffering and patience, brothers and sisters, take the prophets who spoke in the Lord’s name. <span class="reftext"><a href="/james/5-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>Think of how we regard as blessed those who have endured. You have heard of Job’s endurance and you have seen the Lord’s purpose, that <i>the Lord is full of compassion and mercy</i>. <span class="reftext"><a href="/james/5-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>And above all, my brothers and sisters, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or by any other oath.

He should summon the elders of the church, and they should pray for him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. <span class="reftext"><a href="/james/5-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span>And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick and the Lord will raise him up – and if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. <span class="reftext"><a href="/james/5-16.htm"><b>16</b></a></span>So confess your sins to one another and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great effectiveness. <span class="reftext"><a href="/james/5-17.htm"><b>17</b></a></span>Elijah was a human being like us, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain and there was no rain on the land for three years and six months! <span class="reftext"><a href="/james/5-18.htm"><b>18</b></a></span>Then he prayed again, and the sky gave rain and the land sprouted with a harvest.</p> <p class="bodytext"><span class="reftext"><a href="/james/5-19.htm"><b>19</b></a></span>My brothers and sisters, if anyone among you wanders from the truth and someone turns him back, <span class="reftext"><a href="/james/5-20.htm"><b>20</b></a></span>he should know that the one who turns a sinner back from his wandering path will save that person’s soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.</p></div></div><div id="botbox"><div class="padbot"><div align="center"><a href="http://netbible.com/">NET Bible copyright © 1996-2006 by Biblical Studies Press, L.L.C. http://netbible.com.<br />Used by permission.
