 aComeg33 nowg3568,  byou richg4145,  cweepg2799 and howlg3649 for your miseriesg5004 which are comingg1904 upon you.

2

 aYour richesg4149 have rottedg4595 and your garmentsg2440 have becomeg1096 moth-eateng4598.

3

Your goldg5557 and your silverg696 have rustedg2728; and their rustg2447 will be a witnessg3142 against you and will consumeg2068 your fleshg4561 likeg5613 fireg4442. It is  ain the lastg2078 daysg2250 that you have storedg2343 up your treasureg2343!

4

Beholdg2400,  athe payg3408 of the laborersg2040 who mowedg270 your fieldsg5561, and which has been withheldg879b by you, criesg2896 out against you; and  bthe outcryg995 of thoseg3588 who didg2325 the harvestingg2325 has reachedg1525 the earsg3775 of  cthe Lordg2962 of  1Sabaothg4519.

5

You have  alivedg5171 luxuriouslyg5171 on the earthg1093 and ledg4684 a lifeg4684 of wantong4684 pleasureg4684; you have  1fattenedg5142 your heartsg2588 in  ba dayg2250 of slaughterg4967.

6

You have condemnedg2613a and  1 aputg5407 to deathg5407  bthe righteousg1342 man; he does not resistg498 you.

Exhortation

7

Thereforeg3767 be patientg3114,  abrethreng80,  buntilg2193 the comingg3952 of the Lordg2962.  cThe farmerg1092 waitsg1551 for the preciousg5093 produceg2590 of the soilg1093, being patientg3114 aboutg1909 it, untilg2193  1it getsg2983  dthe earlyg4291a and lateg3797 rains.

 aDo not  1complaing4727,  bbrethreng80, againstg2596 oneg240 anotherg240, sog2443 that you yourselves may not be judgedg2919; beholdg2400,  cthe Judgeg2923 is standingg2476  2 drightg4253 at the  3doorg2374.

10

As an exampleg5262,  abrethreng80, of sufferingg2552 and patienceg3115, takeg2983  bthe prophetsg4396 whog3739 spokeg2980 in the nameg3686 of the Lordg2962.

11

We countg3106 thoseg3588  ablessedg3106 who enduredg5278. You have heardg191 of  bthe  1enduranceg5281 of Jobg2492a and have seeng3708  cthe  2outcomeg5056 of the Lord'sg2962 dealings, that  dthe Lordg2962 is fullg4184 of compassiong4184 and is mercifulg3629.

12

But aboveg4253 allg3956,  amy brethreng80,  bdo not swearg3660, eitherg3383 by heaveng3772 org3383 by earthg1093 org3383 with anyg5100 otherg243 oathg3727; but  1your yesg3483a is to be yesg3483a, and your nog3756, nog3756, sog2443 that you may not fallg4098 underg5259 judgmentg2920.

13

Is anyoneg5100 amongg1722 you  asufferingg2553?  bThen he must prayg4336. Is anyoneg5100 cheerfulg2114? He is to  csingg5567 praisesg5567.

14

Is anyoneg5100 amongg1722 you sickg770? Then he must callg4341 for  athe eldersg4245 of the churchg1577 and they are to prayg4336 overg1909 him,  1 banointingg218b him with oilg1637 in the nameg3686 of the Lordg2962;

15

and the  aprayerg2171  1offered in faithg4102 will  2 brestoreg4982 the one who is sickg2577, and the Lordg2962 will  craiseg1453 him up, and ifg2579 he has committedg4160 sinsg266,  3they will be forgiveng863 him.

16

Thereforeg3767,  aconfessg1843 your sinsg266 to oneg240 anotherg240, and prayg4336 for oneg240 anotherg240 sog3704 that you may be  bhealedg2390.  cThe effectiveg1754  1prayerg1162 of a righteousg1342 mang1342 cang2480 accomplishg1754 muchg4183.

17

Elijahg2243 was  aa mang444 with a natureg3663 likeg3663 oursg1473, and  bhe prayedg4336  1earnestlyg4335 that it would not raing1026, and it did not raing1026 on the earthg1093 for  cthreeg5140 yearsg1763 and sixg1803 monthsg3376.

18

Theng2532 he  aprayedg4336 againg3825, and  bthe  1skyg3772  2pouredg1325 raing5205 and the earthg1093 producedg985 its fruitg2590.

19

My brethreng80,  aifg1437 anyg5100 amongg1722 you straysg4105 from  bthe truthg225 and oneg5100 turnsg1994 him backg1994,

20

let him knowg1097 that  1he who turnsg1994 a sinnerg268 from the errorg4106 of his wayg3598 will  asaveg4982 his soulg5590 from deathg2288 and will  bcoverg2572 a multitudeg4128 of sinsg266.
