7Be patient therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it, until it receives the early and late rain.
8You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.
9Don`t grumble, brothers, against one another, so that you won`t be judged. Behold, the judge stands at the door.
10Take, brothers, for an example of suffering and of patience, the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
11Behold, we call them blessed who endured. You have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the Lord in the end, and how the Lord is full of compassion and mercy.
12But above all things, my brothers, don`t swear, neither by heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath; but let your yes be yes, and your no, no; so that you don`t fall into hypocrisy.
13Is any among you suffering? Let him pray. Is any cheerful? Let him sing praises.
