James 5:7-11

WNT(i) 7 Be patient therefore, brethren, until the Coming of the Lord. Notice how eagerly a farmer waits for a valuable crop! He is patient over it till it has received the early and the later rain. 8 So you also must be patient: keeping up your courage; for the Coming of the Lord is now close at hand. 9 Do not cry out in condemnation of one another, brethren, lest you come under judgement. I tell you that the Judge is standing at the door. 10 In illustration, brethren, of persecution patiently endured take the Prophets who have spoken as messengers from the Lord. 11 Remember that we call those blessed who endured what they did. You have also heard of Job's patient endurance, and have seen the issue of the Lord's dealings with him--how full of tenderness and pity the Lord is.
