  James   chapter 5

    
   1 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your
  miseries that shall come upon you.
   2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are
  motheaten.
   3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of
  them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat
  your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure
  together for the last days.
   4 Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped
  down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud,
  crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are
  entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.
   5 Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been
  wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of
  slaughter.
   6 Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth
  not resist you.
   7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of
  the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the
  precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience
  for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.
   8 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the
  coming of the Lord draweth nigh.
   9 Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye
  be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the
  door.
  10 Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken
  in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering
  affliction, and of patience.
  11 Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have
  heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end
  of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of
  tender mercy.
  12 But above all things, my brethren, swear not,
  neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by
  any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your
  nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.
  13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any
  merry? let him sing psalms.
  14 Is any sick among you? 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:
  15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and
  the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed
  sins, they shall be forgiven him.
  16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one
  for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual
  fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
  17 Elias was a man subject to like passions as we
  are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain:
  and it rained not on the earth by the space of three
  years and six months.
  18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and
  the earth brought forth her fruit.
  19 Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and
  one convert him;
  20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner
  from the error of his way shall save a soul from
  death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.
