5:1 Come
now,
you
rich,
weep
and
howl
for
the
miseries
that
are
coming
upon
you.
5:2 Your
riches
have
rotted
and
your
garments
are
moth-eaten.
5:3 Your
gold
and
silver
have
corroded,
and
their
corrosion
will
be
evidence
against
you
and
will
eat
your
flesh
like
fire.
You
have
laid
up
treasure
in
the
last
days.
5:4 Behold,
the
wages
of
the
laborers
who
mowed
your
fields,
which
you
kept
back
by
fraud,
are
crying
out
against
you,
and
the
cries
of
the
harvesters
have
reached
the
ears
of
the
Lord
of
hosts.
5:5 You
have
lived
on
the
earth
in
luxury
and
in
self-indulgence.
You
have
fattened
your
hearts
in
a
day
of
slaughter.
5:6 You
have
condemned
and
murdered
the
righteous
person.
He
does
not
resist
you.
5:7 Be
patient,
therefore,
brothers,
until
the
coming
of
the
Lord.
See
how
the
farmer
waits
for
the
precious
fruit
of
the
earth,
being
patient
about
it,
until
it
receives
the
early
and
the
late
rains.
5:8 You
also,
be
patient.
Establish
your
hearts,
for
the
coming
of
the
Lord
is
at
hand.
5:9 Do
not
grumble
against
one
another,
brothers,
so
that
you
may
not
be
judged;
behold,
the
Judge
is
standing
at
the
door.
5:10 As
an
example
of
suffering
and
patience,
brothers,
take
the
prophets
who
spoke
in
the
name
of
the
Lord.
5:11 Behold,
we
consider
those
blessed
who
remained
steadfast.
You
have
heard
of
the
steadfastness
of
Job,
and
you
have
seen
the
purpose
of
the
Lord,
how
the
Lord
is
compassionate
and
merciful.
5:12 But
above
all,
my
brothers,
do
not
swear,
either
by
heaven
or
by
earth
or
by
any
other
oath,
but
let
your
"yes"
be
yes
and
your
"no"
be
no,
so
that
you
may
not
fall
under
condemnation.
5:13 Is
anyone
among
you
suffering
Let
him
pray.
Is
anyone
cheerful
Let
him
sing
praise.
5:14 Is
anyone
among
you
sick
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.
5:15 And
the
prayer
of
faith
will
save
the
one
who
is
sick,
and
the
Lord
will
raise
him
up.
And
if
he
has
committed
sins,
he
will
be
forgiven.
5:16 Therefore,
confess
your
sins
to
one
another
and
pray
for
one
another,
that
you
may
be
healed.
The
prayer
of
a
righteous
person
has
great
power
as
it
is
working.
5:17 Elijah
was
a
man
with
a
nature
like
ours,
and
he
prayed
fervently
that
it
might
not
rain,
and
for
three
years
and
six
months
it
did
not
rain
on
the
earth.
5:18 Then
he
prayed
again,
and
heaven
gave
rain,
and
the
earth
bore
its
fruit.
5:19 My
brothers,
if
anyone
among
you
wanders
from
the
truth
and
someone
brings
him
back,
5:20 let
him
know
that
whoever
brings
back
a
sinner
from
his
wandering
will
save
his
soul
from
death
and
will
cover
a
multitude
of
sins.
