1 Go to33 now,3568 ye rich men,4145 weep2799 and howl3649 for1909 your5216 miseries5004 that shall come upon1904 you.
|
2 Your5216 riches4149 are corrupted,4595 and2532 your5216 garments2440 are1096 motheaten.4598
|
3 Your5216 gold5557 and2532 silver696 is cankered;2728 and2532 the3588 rust2447 of them846 shall be2071 a1519 witness3142 against you,5213 and2532 shall eat5315 your5216 flesh4561 as it were5613 fire.4442 Ye have heaped treasure together2343 for1722 the last2078 days.2250
|
4 Behold,2400 the3588 hire3408 of the3588 laborers2040 who have reaped down270 your5216 fields,5561 which is of575 you5216 kept back by fraud,650 crieth:2896 and2532 the3588 cries994 of them which have reaped2325 are entered1525 into1519 the3588 ears3775 of the Lord2962 of Sabaoth.4519
|
5 Ye have lived in pleasure5171 on1909 the3588 earth,1093 and2532 been wanton;4684 ye have nourished5142 your5216 hearts,2588 as in1722 a day2250 of slaughter.4967
|
6 Ye have condemned2613 and killed5407 the3588 just;1342 and he doth not3756 resist498 you.5213
|
7 Be patient3114 therefore,3767 brethren,80 unto2193 the3588 coming3952 of the3588 Lord.2962 Behold,2400 the3588 husbandman1092 waiteth for1551 the3588 precious5093 fruit2590 of the3588 earth,1093 and2532 hath long patience3114 for1909 it,846 until2193 302 he receive2983 the early4406 and2532 latter3797 rain.5205
|
8 Be ye also patient;3114 5210 2532 establish4741 your5216 hearts:2588 for3754 the3588 coming3952 of the3588 Lord2962 draweth nigh.1448
|
9 Grudge4727 not3361 one against another,240 2596 brethren,80 lest3363 ye be condemned:2632 behold,2400 the3588 judge2923 standeth2476 before4253 the3588 door.2374
|
10 Take,2983 my3450 brethren,80 the3588 prophets,4396 who3739 have spoken2980 in the3588 name3686 of the Lord,2962 for an example5262 of suffering affliction,2552 and2532 of patience.3115
|
11 Behold,2400 we count them happy3106 which endure.5278 Ye have heard191 of the3588 patience5281 of Job,2492 and2532 have seen1492 the3588 end5056 of the Lord;2962 that3754 the3588 Lord2962 is2076 very pitiful,4184 and2532 of tender mercy.3629
|
12 But1161 above4253 all things,3956 my3450 brethren,80 swear3660 not,3361 neither3383 by heaven,3772 neither3383 by the3588 earth,1093 neither3383 by any243 other5100 oath:3727 but1161 let your5216 yea3483 be2277 yea;3483 and2532 your3588 nay,3756 nay;3756 lest3363 ye fall4098 into1519 condemnation.5272
|
13 Is any among you afflicted?2553 5100 1722 5213 let him pray.4336 Is any merry?2114 5100 let him sing psalms.5567
|
14 Is any sick770 5100 among1722 you?5213 let him call for4341 the3588 elders4245 of the3588 church;1577 and2532 let them pray4336 over1909 him,846 anointing218 him846 with oil1637 in1722 the3588 name3686 of the3588 Lord: 2962
|
15 And2532 the3588 prayer2171 of faith4102 shall save4982 the3588 sick,2577 and2532 the3588 Lord2962 shall raise him up;1453 846 and if2579 he have5600 committed4160 sins,266 they shall be forgiven863 him.846
|
16 Confess1843 your faults3900 one to another,240 and2532 pray2172 one for another,240 5228 that3704 ye may be healed.2390 The effectual fervent1754 prayer1162 of a righteous man1342 availeth2480 much.4183
|
17 Elijah2243 was2258 a man444 subject to like passions3663 as we2254 are, and2532 he prayed earnestly4336 4335 that it might not3361 rain:1026 and2532 it rained1026 not3756 on1909 the3588 earth1093 by the space of three5140 years1763 and2532 six1803 months.3376
|
18 And2532 he prayed4336 again,3825 and2532 the3588 heaven3772 gave1325 rain,5205 and2532 the3588 earth1093 brought forth985 her848 fruit.2590
|
19 Brethren,80 if1437 any5100 of1722 you5213 do err4105 from575 the3588 truth,225 and2532 one5100 convert1994 him;846
|
20 Let him know,1097 that3754 he which converteth1994 the sinner268 from1537 the error4106 of his846 way3598 shall save4982 a soul5590 from1537 death,2288 and2532 shall hide2572 a multitude4128 of sins.266
