42 They lay hold on bow and spear. They are cruel and have no mercy. Their voice roars like the sea and they ride upon horses, each one set in array, as a man to the battle, against you, O daughter of Babylon.

James 4:1-17
1 From where are the wars and quarrels among you come from? Is it not from here, from your own sensual-delights which are warring in your members?
2 You lust and do not have; you murder and are jealous and are not able to obtain; you quarrel and make war; you do not have, because you are not asking.
3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask evilly, in order that you may spend it in your sensual-delights.
4 Adulterers and adulteresses, do you not know that the friendship of the world is hostility toward God? Therefore, whoever wills to be a friend of the world is designated as an enemy of God. 5 Or are you thinking that the Scripture speaks with emptiness? Does the Spirit who dwells in us long to envy? 6 But he is giving greater grace. Hence the Scripture says, ‘God resists the haughty, but gives grace to the humble.’
7 Therefore, be subject to God and stand against the devil, and he will be fleeing away from you. 8 Draw near to God and he will be drawing near to you. Cleanse your hands sinners and purify your hearts you indecisive! 9 Be miserable and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy be turned to gloom. 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord and he will be exalting you.
11 Brethren do not speak against one another. He who is speaking against a brother and is judging his brother, is speaking against the law and is judging the law. Now if you are judging the law, you are not a doer of the law, but a judge. 12 There is the one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy; but who are you who judges the other?
13 Come now, you who are saying, Today and the next-day, we should travel into this city and spend one year there and be a merchant and make a gain. 14 You do not know what the next-day will bring, for what is your life? For it will be a vapor, which appears for a few but thereafter also disappears. 15 Instead of that, you should say, If the Lord wills, and we should also live, then we might do this or that. 16 But now you boast in your self-importance. All such boasting is evil. 17 Therefore knowing to do good and not doing it, to him, it is sin.
