Note that the OET uses ‘Yacob’ for ‘The Letter of Jacob’ (wrongly called ‘James’ in older Bibles).
This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
5:7 Wait patiently
7 So my fellow believers, be patient until the return of Yeshua our master. You see how farmers look forward to the fruit to be ready—waiting patiently even while they monitor the early and the late rains. 8 All of you should be patient too, and encourage each other in your faith because the master’s return is closer now.
9 And don’t moan about each other, my fellow believers, so that you all won’t be judged for it, because truly, the judge is just outside about to come in the doors. 10 Look at the prophets who spoke out the messages from the master—they’re good examples of suffering and patience for you to follow 11 and now we consider them as heroes for their endurance. You all heard about Yob’s endurance and then you yourselves witnessed what happened to Yeshua our master,[ref] and you saw his compassion and mercy.
12 But most importantly, brothers and sisters, don’t swear by heaven or earth or by any other kind of oath but simply be honest so that ‘yes’ means yes and ‘no’ means no,[ref] then you won’t end up getting judged.
Yob 1:21-22:
21 saying, “I came naked from my mother’s womb, and I will leave this life naked. Yahweh gave, and Yahweh has taken. May Yahweh’s reputation??? be blessed.”
22 Through all of that, Iyyov didn’t disobey God or accuse him of being evil.
2:10:
10 “You’re talking like a foolish person,” Iyyov replied. “Should we only accept good from God and not receive the bad?” In all of that, Iyyov didn’t sin in what he said.
Psa 103:8:
…
Mat 5:34-37:
34 [ref]But I’m telling you not to make oaths in the first place—don’t swear by heaven because it’s God’s throne, 35 [ref]nor by the earth because it’s God’s footrest, nor by Jerusalem because it’s the supreme king’s city. 36 And don’t swear by your own strength because you can’t even make one strand of hair grow a different colour. 37 Just say ‘yes’ when you commit to doing something, and ‘no’ when you don’t, because going beyond that is actually evil.
