James 5:1-8
11ComeG33 nowG3568, 2you richG4145 peopleG4145, 3weepG2799 and howlG3649 for your miseriesG5004 which are comingG1904 uponG1904 you. 24Your richesG4149 have rottedG4595 and your garmentsG2440 have becomeG1096 moth-eatenG4598. 3Your goldG5557 and your silverG696 have corrodedG2728, and their corrosionG2447 will 5serveG1510 asG1510G1519 a testimonyG3142 against you and will consumeG2068 your fleshG4561 likeG5613 fireG4442. It is 6in the lastG2078 daysG2250 that you have storedG2343 upG2343 your treasureG2343! 4BeholdG2400, 7the payG3408 of the laborersG2040 who mowedG270 your fieldsG5561, and which has been withheldG879 by you, criesG2896 outG2896 against you; and 8the outcryG995 of thoseG3588 who didG2325 theG2325 harvestingG2325 has reachedG1525 the earsG3775 of 9the LordG2962 10of armiesG4519. 5You have 1112livedG5171 forG5171 pleasureG5171 on the earthG1093 and livedG4684 luxuriouslyG4684; you have 13fattenedG5142 your heartsG2588 in 14a dayG2250 of slaughterG4967. 6You have condemnedG2613 and 1516putG5407 toG5407 deathG5407 17the righteousG1342 personG1342; he offersG498 you noG3756 resistanceG498.
7ThereforeG3767 beG3114 patientG3114, 18brothersG80 and sisters, 19untilG2193 the comingG3952 of the LordG2962. 20The farmerG1092 waitsG1551 forG1551 the preciousG5093 produceG2590 of the soilG1093, beingG3114 patientG3114 aboutG1909 it, untilG2193 21it getsG2983 22the earlyG4291 and lateG3797 rains. 823You tooG2532 beG3114 patientG3114; 24strengthenG4741 your heartsG2588, for 25the comingG3952 of the LordG2962 is 26nearG1448.
