James 5:10

8 You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord¹ is at hand.

9 Do not¹ grumble against one another, brethren, lest you be² condemned. Behold, the Judge is standing at the door!

10 ^aMy brethren, take the prophets, who spoke in the name of the Lord, as an example of suffering and ^bpatience.

11 Indeed ^awe count them blessed who ^bendure. You have heard of ^cthe perseverance of Job and seen ^dthe end intended by the Lord—that ^ethe Lord is very compassionate and merciful.

12 But above all, my brethren, ^ado not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath. But let your “Yes” be “Yes,” and your “No,” “No,” lest you fall into¹ judgment.
