1Go to <33> (5720) now <3568>_, [ye] rich men <4145>_, weep <2799> (5657) and howl <3649> (5723) for <1909> your <5216> miseries <5004> that shall come upon <1904> (5740) [you].
2Your <5216> riches <4149> are corrupted <4595> (5754)_, and <2532> your <5216> garments <2440> are <1096> (5754) motheaten <4598>_.
3Your <5216> gold <5557> and <2532> silver <696> is cankered <2728> (5769)_; and <2532> the rust <2447> of them <846> shall be <2071> (5704) a witness <3142> against <1519> you <5213>_, and <2532> shall eat <5315> (5695) your <5216> flesh <4561> as it were <5613> fire <4442>_. Ye have heaped treasure together <2343> (5656) for <1722> the last <2078> days <2250>_.
4Behold <2400> (5628)_, the hire <3408> of the labourers <2040> who <3588> have reaped down <270> (5660) your <5216> fields <5561>_, which <3588> is of <575> you <5216> kept back by fraud <650> (5772)_, crieth <2896> (5719)_: and <2532> the cries <995> of them which have reaped <2325> (5660) are entered <1525> (5754) into <1519> the ears <3775> of the Lord <2962> of sabaoth <4519>_. {sabaoth: Heb. hosts}
5Ye have lived in pleasure <5171> (5656) on <1909> the earth <1093>_, and <2532> been wanton <4684> (5656)_; ye have nourished <5142> (5656) your <5216> hearts <2588>_, as <5613> in <1722> a day <2250> of slaughter <4967>_.
6Ye have condemned <2613> (5656) [and] killed <5407> (5656) the just <1342>_; [and] he doth <498> (0) not <3756> resist <498> (5731) you <5213>_.
7Be patient <3114> (5657) therefore <3767>_, brethren <80>_, unto <2193> the coming <3952> of the Lord <2962>_. Behold <2400> (5628)_, the husbandman <1092> waiteth <1551> (5736) for the precious <5093> fruit <2590> of the earth <1093>_, and hath long patience <3114> (5723) for <1909> it <846>_, until <2193> <302> he receive <2983> (5632) the early <4406> and <2532> latter <3797> rain <5205>_. {Be...: or, Be long patient, or, Suffer with long patience}
8Be <3114> (0) ye <5210> also <2532> patient <3114> (5657)_; stablish <4741> (5657) your <5216> hearts <2588>_: for <3754> the coming <3952> of the Lord <2962> draweth nigh <1448> (5758)_.
9Grudge <4727> (5720) not <3361> one against another <2596> <240>_, brethren <80>_, lest <3363> ye be condemned <2632> (5686)_: behold <2400> (5628)_, the judge <2923> standeth <2476> (5707) (5758) before <4253> the door <2374>_. {Grudge not: or, Groan, or, Grieve not}
10Take <2983> (5628)_, my <3450> brethren <80>_, the prophets <4396>_, who <3739> have spoken <2980> (5656) in the name <3686> of the Lord <2962>_, for an example <5262> of suffering affliction <2552>_, and <2532> of patience <3115>_.
11Behold <2400> (5628)_, we count them happy <3106> (5719) which endure <5278> (5723)_. Ye have heard <191> (5656) of the patience <5281> of Job <2492>_, and <2532> have seen <1492> (5627) the end <5056> of the Lord <2962>_; that <3754> the Lord <2962> is <2076> (5748) very pitiful <4184>_, and <2532> of tender mercy <3629>_.
12But <1161> above <4253> all things <3956>_, my <3450> brethren <80>_, swear <3660> (5720) not <3361>_, neither <3383> by heaven <3772>_, neither <3383> by the earth <1093>_, neither <3383> by any <5100> other <243> oath <3727>_: but <1161> let <2277> (0) your <5216> yea <3483> be <2277> (5749) yea <3483>_; and <2532> [your] nay <3756>_, nay <3756>_; lest <3363> ye fall <4098> (5632) into <1519> condemnation <5272>_.
13Is <2553> (0) any <5100> among <1722> you <5213> afflicted <2553> (5719)_? let him pray <4336> (5737)_. Is <2114> (0) any <5100> merry <2114> (5719)_? let him sing psalms <5567> (5720)_.
14Is <770> (0) any <5100> sick <770> (5719) among <1722> you <5213>_? let him call <4341> (5663) for the elders <4245> of the church <1577>_; and <2532> let them pray <4336> (5663) over <1909> him <846>_, anointing <218> (5660) him <846> with oil <1637> in <1722> the name <3686> of the Lord <2962>_:
15And <2532> the prayer <2171> of faith <4102> shall save <4982> (5692) the sick <2577> (5723)_, and <2532> the Lord <2962> shall raise <1453> (0) him <846> up <1453> (5692)_; and if <2579> he have <5600> (5753) committed <4160> (5761) sins <266>_, they shall be forgiven <863> (5701) him <846>_.
16Confess <1843> (5732) [your] faults <3900> one to another <240>_, and <2532> pray <2172> (5737) one <240> (0) for <5228> another <240>_, that <3704> ye may be healed <2390> (5686)_. The effectual fervent <1754> (5734) prayer <1162> of a righteous man <1342> availeth <2480> (5719) much <4183>_.
17Elias <2243> was <2258> (5713) a man <444> subject to like passions as <3663> we are <2254>_, and <2532> he prayed <4336> (5662) earnestly <4335> that it might <1026> (0) not <3361> rain <1026> (5658)_: and <2532> it rained <1026> (5656) not <3756> on <1909> the earth <1093> by the space of three <5140> years <1763> and <2532> six <1803> months <3376>_. {subject...: of the same nature, that is, a fellow mortal} {earnestly: or, in his prayer}
18And <2532> he prayed <4336> (5662) again <3825>_, and <2532> the heaven <3772> gave <1325> (5656) rain <5205>_, and <2532> the earth <1093> brought forth <985> (5656) her <846> fruit <2590>_.
19Brethren <80>_, if <1437> any <5100> of <1722> you <5213> do err <4105> (5686) from <575> the truth <225>_, and <2532> one <5100> convert <1994> (5661) him <846>_;
20Let <1097> (0) him <846> know <1097> (5720)_, that <3754> he which converteth <1994> (5660) the sinner <268> from <1537> the error <4106> of his <846> way <3598> shall save <4982> (5692) a soul <5590> from <1537> death <2288>_, and <2532> shall hide <2572> (5692) a multitude <4128> of sins <266>_.
