59:004:014 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is
your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little
time, and then vanisheth away.
59:004:015 For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and
do this, or that.
59:004:016 But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is
evil.
59:004:017 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to
him it is sin.
59:005:001 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that
shall come upon you.
59:005:002 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
59:005:003 Your 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.
59:005:004 Behold, 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.
59:005:005 Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye
have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.
59:005:006 Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist
you.
59:005:007 Be 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.
59:005:008 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of
the Lord draweth nigh.
59:005:009 Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be
condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.
59:005:010 Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name
of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of
patience.
59:005:011 Behold, 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.
59:005:012 But 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.
59:005:013 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let
him sing psalms.
59:005:014 Is 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:
59:005:015 And 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.
