Patience in Suffering
7 Be patient, then, brothers, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer awaits the precious fruit of the soil—how patient he is for [the fall] and [spring rains].[fn] 8 You, too, be patient [and] strengthen your hearts, because the Lord’s coming is near. 9 {Do} not complain about one another, brothers, so that you will not be judged. Look, the Judge is standing at the door!
10 Brothers, [as] an example of patience in affliction take the prophets who spoke in the name of [the] Lord. 11 See how blessed we consider those who have persevered. You have heard of Job’s perseverance and have seen the outcome from [the] Lord. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy.
12 Above all, my brothers, {do} not swear, not [by] heaven [or] earth [or by] any other oath. Simply {let} your “Yes” be yes, and [your] “No,” no, so that you will not fall under judgment.
