James 5

5^aGo to now, ye ^brich men, weep and howl for your ^cmiseries that shall come upon you. ^2dYour riches are corrupted, and ^eyour garments are ^fmotheaten. ³Your gold and silver ^gis cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. ^hYe have heaped treasure together ⁱfor the last days. ⁴Behold, ^kthe hire of the labourers who have reaped down your ^lfields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and ^mthe cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of ⁿsabaoth. ^5oYe have lived in pleasure on the earth, and ^pbeen wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in ^qa day of slaughter. ^6rYe have condemned and ^skilled ^tthe just; and he doth not resist you.

^7||Be patient therefore, brethren, unto ^uthe coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman ^wwaiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and ^xhath long patience for it, until he receive ^ythe early and ^yzlatter rain. ⁸Be ye also ^xpatient; ^astablish your hearts: for ^bthe coming of the Lord draweth nigh. ^9||Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, ^cthe judge standeth ^dbefore the door. ¹⁰Take, my brethren, ^ethe prophets, ^fwho have spoken in the name of the Lord, for ^gan example of suffering affliction, and of patience. ¹¹Behold, ^hwe count them happy ⁱwhich endure. Ye have heard of ^jthe patience of Job, and have seen ^kthe end of the Lord; that ^lthe Lord is very pitiful, and ^mof tender mercy. ¹²But above all things, my brethren, ⁿswear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your ^oyea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation. ¹³Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? ^plet him sing psalms. ¹⁴Is any sick among you? let him call for ^qthe elders of the church; and let them pray over him, ^ranointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: ¹⁵And ^sthe prayer of faith shall ^tsave the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and ^uif he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. ^16vConfess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, ^wthat ye may be healed. ^xThe effectual ^xyfervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. ¹⁷Elias was a man ^zsubject to like passions as we are, and ^ahe prayed ^||earnestly that it might not rain: and ^ait rained not on the earth by the space of ^bthree years and six months. ¹⁸And ^che prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.

¹⁹Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and ^done convert him; ²⁰Let him know, that ^ehe which converteth the sinner from the error of his way ^fshall save ^ga soul from death, and ^hshall hide a multitude of sins.
