James 5:4-8
4BeholdG2400, 1the payG3408 of the laborersG2040 who mowedG270 your fieldsG5561, and which has been withheldG879 by you, criesG2896 out against you; and 2the outcryG995 of thoseG3588 who didG2325 the harvestingG2325 has reachedG1525 the earsG3775 of 3the LordG2962 of 4SabaothG4519. 5You have 5livedG5171 luxuriouslyG5171 on the earthG1093 and ledG4684 a lifeG4684 of wantonG4684 pleasureG4684; you have 6fattenedG5142 your heartsG2588 in 7a dayG2250 of slaughterG4967. 6You have condemnedG2613 and 89putG5407 to deathG5407 10the righteousG1342 man; he does not resistG498 you.
7ThereforeG3767 be patientG3114, 11brethrenG80, 12untilG2193 the comingG3952 of the LordG2962. 13The farmerG1092 waitsG1551 for the preciousG5093 produceG2590 of the soilG1093, being patientG3114 aboutG1909 it, untilG2193 14it getsG2983 15the earlyG4291 and lateG3797 rains. 816You tooG2532 be patientG3114; 17strengthenG4741 your heartsG2588, for 18the comingG3952 of the LordG2962 is 19nearG1448.
