Context of James 5:10
8Ye also have patience: stablish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is drawn nigh. 9Complain not one against another, brethren, that ye be not judged. Behold, the judge stands before the door. Take [as] an example, brethren, of suffering and having patience, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of [the] Lord. 11Behold, we call them blessed who have endured. Ye have heard of the endurance of Job, and seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is full of tender compassion and pitiful. 12But before all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath; but let your yea be yea, and your nay, nay, that ye do not fall under judgment.
