James 5 : King James Version

5 1Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your
miseries that shall come upon you. 2Your riches are
corrupted, and your garments are motheaten. 3Your gold
and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness
against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have
heaped treasure together for the last days. 4Behold, the
hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of
you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have
reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth. 5Ye
have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have
nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter. 6Ye have
condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you. 7Be
patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold,
the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath
long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.
8Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming
of the Lord draweth nigh. 9Grudge not one against
another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth
before the door. 10Take, my brethren, the prophets, who
have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering
affliction, and of patience. 11Behold, we count them
happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have
seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of
tender mercy. 12But above all things, my brethren, swear
not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other
oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into
condemnation. 13Is any among you afflicted? let him pray.
Is any merry? let him sing psalms. 14Is any sick among
you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray
over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: 15And
the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise
him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
16Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for
another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a
righteous man availeth much. 17Elias was a man subject to
like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not
rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and
six months. 18And he 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 one convert him; 20Let
him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his
way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of
sins.
