Darby Bible

1GoG71 to nowG3568, ye richG4145, weepG2799, howling over your miseries that [are] comingG1904 upon [you]. 2Your wealthG4149 is becomeG1096 rotten, and your garmentsG2440 moth-eaten. 3Your goldG5557 and silverG696 isG1510 eatenG2068 away, and their canker shall beG1510 for a witness against you, and shall eatG2068 your fleshG4561 as fireG4442. Ye have heaped up treasure in [the] lastG2078 daysG2250. 4BeholdG2400, the wagesG3408 of your labourers, who have harvested your fieldsG5561, wrongfully kept back by you, cryG2896, and the criesG2896 of those that have reapedG2325 are enteredG1525 into the earsG3775 of [the] LordG2962 of sabaoth. 5Ye have lived luxuriously on the earthG1093 and indulged yourselvesG4771; ye have nourishedG5142 your heartsG2588 [as] in a dayG2250 of slaughterG4967; 6ye have condemned, ye have killed the justG1342; he does not resist you. 7Have patienceG3114, thereforeG3767, brethren, till the coming of the LordG2962. BeholdG2400, the labourer awaits the preciousG5093 fruitG2590 of the earthG1093, having patienceG3114 for it until it receiveG2983 [the] early and [the] latter rain. 8Ye alsoG2532 have patienceG3114: stablish your heartsG2588, for the coming of the LordG2962 is drawn nigh. 9Complain not oneG240 against another, brethren, that ye be not judgedG2919. BeholdG2400, the judgeG2919 standsG2476 before the doorG2374. 10TakeG2983 [as] an exampleG5262, brethren, of suffering and having patienceG3115, the prophetsG4396, who have spokenG2980 in the nameG3686 of [the] LordG2962. 11BeholdG2400, we call them blessed who have enduredG5278. Ye have heardG191 of the enduranceG5281 of Job, and seenG3708 the endG5056 of the LordG2962; that the LordG2962 isG1510 full of tender compassion and pitiful. 12But before all thingsG3956, my brethren, swearG3660 not, neither by heavenG3772, nor by the earthG1093, nor by any otherG243 oathG3727; but let your yea beG1510 yea, and your nay, nay, that ye do not fallG4098 under judgmentG2920. 13Does any oneG5100 among you suffer evil? let him prayG4336. Is any happy? let him singG5567 psalms. 14Is any sickG770 among you? let him callG4341 to [him] the eldersG4245 of the assemblyG1577, and let them prayG4336 over him, anointing him with oilG1637 in the nameG3686 of [the] LordG2962; 15and the prayer of faithG4102 shall heal the sick, and the LordG2962 shall raiseG1453 him up; and if he beG1510 oneG3588 who has committed sinsG266, it shall beG1510 forgivenG863 him. 16ConfessG1843 thereforeG3767 your offences to oneG240 another, and prayG2172 for oneG240 another, that ye may be healedG2390. [The] fervent supplicationG1162 of the righteousG1342 [manG1342] has muchG4183 power. 17Elias wasG1510 a manG444 of like passions to us, and he prayedG4336 with prayerG4335 that it should not rainG1026; and it did not rainG1026 upon the earthG1093 threeG5140 yearsG1763 and sixG1803 monthsG3376; 18and againG3825 he prayedG4336, and the heavenG3772 gaveG1325 rainG5205, and the earthG1093 caused its fruitG2590 to spring forth. 19My brethren, if any oneG5100 among you err from the truthG225, and oneG5100 bring him backG1994, 20let him knowG1097 that he that brings backG1994 a sinnerG268 from [the] errorG4106 of his wayG3598 shall saveG4982 a soulG5590 from deathG2288 and shall coverG2572 a multitudeG4128 of sinsG266.
