Note that the OET uses ‘Yacob’ for ‘The Letter of Jacob’ (wrongly called ‘James’ in older Bibles).

This OET (very) Literal Version was designed to be used as a view into the original language words, so as to be an aid to understanding the source text for the Readers’ Version, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint. This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

5 Be _come now, you _all rich ones, weep, wailing over the miseries of _you _all which are coming _over.

2 The riches of _you _all has _rotted, and the clothes of _you _all moth-eaten has _become.

3 The gold of _you _all and the silver has _been _corroded, and the rust of _them for a_testimony to _you _all will _be, and will _be _consuming the fleshes of _you _all like fire.
You _all _stored _up in the_last days.

4 Behold, the wage of _the workers, which having _harvested the fields of _you _all, which having _been _withheld by you _all, is _crying _out, and the outcries of _the ones having _reaped, into the ears of_the_master of _armies have _come _in.

5 You _all _indulged on the earth.
And you _all _lived _luxuriously, you _all _nourished the hearts of _you _all in the_day of _slaughter.

6 You _all _convicted, you _all _murdered the righteous, yet _not he _is _opposing against _you _all.

7 Therefore be _patient, brothers, until the coming of _the master.
Behold, the farmer is _awaiting for _the precious fruit of _the earth, being _patient for it until he _may _receive the_early and late rains.

8 Be _patient also you _all, strengthen the hearts of _you _all, because the coming of _the master has _neared.

9 Not be _groaning, brothers, against one _another, in _order _that not you _all _may _be _judged.
Behold, the judge before the doors has _stood.

10 An_example take, brothers, of_ the _misfortune, and of_ the _patience, the prophets, who spoke in name of_the_master.

11 Behold, we _are _counting _blessed the ones having _endured.
The endurance of _Iōb/(ʼIyyōⱱ) you _all _heard, and the outcome of_the_master you _all _saw, that much _compassionate is the master and compassionate.

12 Before but, all things, brothers of _me, not be _swearing, neither the by _heaven, nor the earth, nor other any oath, but let _be of _you _all your Yes be, yes, and your No be, no, in _order _that not under judgement you _all _may _fall.

13 Is _suffering _hardship anyone among you _all?
Him _let _be _praying.
Is _cheering _up anyone?
Him _let _be _singing _praises.

14 Is _ailing anyone among you _all?
Him _let _call _to the elders of _the assembly, and them _let _pray over him, having _anointed him with _olive _oil in the name of _the master.

15 And the vow of_ the _faith will _be _saving the one faltering, and will _be _raising him the master, and _if sins he _may _be having _done, it _will _be _being _forgiven to _him.

16 Therefore be _confessing to _one _another your sins, and be _praying for one _another, so _that you _all _may _be _healed.
Much is _prevailing the_petition of_a_righteous one working.

17 Aʸlias/(ʼĒliy^yāh) a_man was like _natured to _us, and with _prayer he _prayed which not for _it to _rain, and not it _rained on the earth, three years and six months.

18 And again he _prayed, and the sky rain gave, and the earth sprouted the fruit of _it.

19 Brothers of _me, if anyone among you _all may _be _strayed from the truth, and may _turn _back someone him,

20 be _knowing that the one having _turned _back a_sinner from the_deception of_the_way of _him, will _be _saving the_soul of _him from death, and will _be _covering a_multitude of _sins.
