8. 7 Be patient, then, brothers, until the Lord's coming. See how
the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop and how
patient he is for the autumn and spring rains. 8 You too, be
patient and stand firm, because the Lord's coming is near. 9
Don't grumble against each other, brothers, or you will be
judged. The Judge is standing at the door!
10 Brothers, as an example of patience in the face of
suffering, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the
Lord. 11 As you know, we consider blessed those who have
persevered. You have heard of Job's perseverance and have
seen what the Lord finally brought about. The Lord is full of
compassion and mercy.
12 Above all, my brothers, do not swear—not by heaven or
by earth or by anything else. Let your "Yes" be yes, and your
"No," no, or you will be condemned.
