1: ComeG0071 now,G3568 [you]G3588 rich,G4145 weep,G2799 wailingG3649 overG1909 theG3588 miseriesG5004 upon youG4771 that [are]G3588 coming.G1904

2: TheG3588 richesG4149 of YouG4771 have rotted,G4595 andG2532 theG3588 garmentsG2440 of youG4771 moth-eatenG4598 have become.G1096

3: TheG3588 goldG5557 of youG4771 andG2532 theG3588 silverG0696 have corroded,G2728 andG2532 theG3588 rustG2447 of themG0846 forG1519 a testimonyG3142 against youG4771 will be,G1510 andG2532 will eatG5315 theG3588 fleshG4561 of youG4771 likeG5613 fire.G4442 You have treasured upG2343 inG1722 [the] lastG2078 days.G2250

4: Behold,G2400 theG3588 wageG3408 of theG3588 workmenG2040 -G3588 having harvestedG0270 theG3588 fieldsG5561 of you,G4771 -G3588 having been kept backG0650 byG0575 you,G4771 cries out,G2896 andG2532 theG3588 criesG0995 of thoseG3588 having harvested,G2325 intoG1519 theG3588 earsG3775 of [the] LordG2962 of HostsG4519 have entered.G1525

5: You lived in luxuryG5171 uponG1909 theG3588 earth,G1093 andG2532 lived in self-indulgence.G4684 You have fattenedG5142 theG3588 heartsG2588 of youG4771 inG1722 [the] dayG2250 of slaughter.G4967

6: You have condemnedG2613 [and] have put to deathG5407 theG3588 righteous;G1342 notG3756 does he resistG0498 you.G4771

7: Be patientG3114 therefore,G3767 brothers,G0080 untilG2193 theG3588 comingG3952 of theG3588 Lord.G2962 Behold,G2400 theG3588 farmerG1092 awaitsG1551 theG3588 preciousG5093 fruitG2590 of theG3588 earth,G1093 being patientG3114 forG1909 itG0846 untilG2193 it receivesG2983 [the] earlyG4406 andG2532 latter [rains].G3797

8: Be patientG3114 alsoG2532 you;G4771 strengthenG4741 theG3588 heartsG2588 of you,G4771 becauseG3754 theG3588 comingG3952 of theG3588 LordG2962 has drawn near.G1448

9: NotG3361 grumbleG4727 brothersG0080 againstG2596 one another,G0240 so thatG2443 notG3361 you may be condemned.G2919 Behold,G2400 theG3588 JudgeG2923 beforeG4253 theG3588 doorsG2374 is standing.G2476

10: [As] an exampleG5262 take,G2983 brothers,G0080 -G3588 of suffering evilsG2552 andG2532 -G3588 of patience,G3115 theG3588 prophetsG4396 whoG3739 spokeG2980 inG1722 theG3588 nameG3686 of [the] Lord.G2962

11: Behold,G2400 we count blessedG3106 thoseG3588 having persevered.G5278 TheG3588 perseveranceG5281 of JobG2492 you have heard of,G0191 andG2532 theG3588 outcomeG5056 from [the] LordG2962 you have seen,G3708 thatG3754 full of compassionG4184 isG1510 theG3588 Lord,G2962 andG2532 [is] merciful.G3629

12: BeforeG4253 all thingsG3956 however,G1161 brothersG0080 of me,G1473 notG3361 swear,G3660 neither [by]G3383 -G3588 heaven,G3772 norG3383 theG3588 earth,G1093 norG3383 otherG0243 anyG5100 oath.G3727 BeG1510 howeverG1161 of youG4771 theG3588 Yes,G3483 yes,G3483 andG2532 theG3588 No,G3756 no,G3756 so thatG2443 notG3361 underG5259 judgmentG2920 you might fall.G4098

13: Is suffering hardshipsG2553 anyoneG5100 amongG1722 you?G4771 Let him pray.G4336 Is cheerfulG2114 anyone?G5100 Let him sing praises.G5567

14: Is sickG0770 anyoneG5100 amongG1722 you?G4771 Let him call nearG4341 theG3588 eldersG4245 of theG3588 church,G1577 andG2532 let them prayG4336 overG1909 him,G0846 having anointedG0218 himG0846 with oilG1637 inG1722 theG3588 nameG3686 of theG3588 Lord.G2962

15: AndG2532 theG3588 prayerG2171 -G3588 of faithG4102 will saveG4982 the oneG3588 ailing,G2577 andG2532 will raise upG1453 himG0846 theG3588 Lord,G2962 and ifG2579 sinsG0266 he might be [one]G1510 having committed,G4160 it will be forgivenG0863 him.G0846

16: ConfessG1843 thereforeG3767 to one anotherG0240 theG3588 sins,G0266 andG2532 prayG2172 forG5228 one another,G0240 so thatG3704 you may be healed.G2390 MuchG4183 prevailsG2480 [the] prayerG1162 of a righteous [man]G1342 being made effective.G1754

17: ElijahG2243 a manG0444 wasG1510 of like natureG3663 to us,G1473 andG2532 with fervent prayerG4335 he prayed [for it]G4336 -G3588 notG3361 to rain,G1026 andG2532 notG3756 it did rainG1026 uponG1909 theG3588 earthG1093 yearsG1763 threeG5140 andG2532 monthsG3376 six.G1803

18: AndG2532 againG3825 he prayed,G4336 andG2532 theG3588 heavenG3772 rainG5205 gave,G1325 andG2532 theG3588 earthG1093 producedG0985 theG3588 fruitG2590 of it.G0846

19: BrothersG0080 of Me,G1473 ifG1437 anyoneG5100 amongG1722 youG4771 might wanderG4105 fromG0575 theG3588 truth,G0225 andG2532 should bring backG1994 someoneG5100 him,G0846

20: let him knowG1097 thatG3754 the [one]G3588 having brought backG1994 a sinnerG0268 fromG1537 [the] errorG4106 of the wayG3598 of himG0846 will saveG4982 the soulG5590 of himG0846 fromG1537 deathG2288 andG2532 will cover overG2572 a multitudeG4128 of sins.G0266
