CHAP. V.
A wo to the rich that oppress
the poor. Exhortations to
patience, and to avoid
swearing. Of the anointing
the sick, confession of sin,
and fervour in prayer.
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 moth-eaten.
3 Your gold and silver is
cankered: and the rust of
them shall be for a testimony
against you, and shall
eat your flesh like fire. You
have stored up to yourselves
wrath against the last
days.
4 Behold the hire of the
labourers, who have reaped
-- --
down your fields, which by
fraud has been kept back
by you, crieth: and the cry
of them hath entred into
the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.
5 You have feasted upon
earth; and in riotousness
you have nourished your
hearts, in the day of slaughter.
6 You have condemned
and put to death the just
one, and he resisted you
not.
7 Be patient therefore,
brethren, until the coming
of the Lord. Behold, the
husband-man waiteth for
the precious fruit of the
earth; patiently bearing till
he receive the early and the
latter.
8 Be you therefore also
patient, and strengthen your
hearts: for the coming of
the Lord is at hand.
9 Grudge not, brethren,
one against another, that
you may not be judged.
Behold, the judge standeth
before the door.
10 Take, my brethren,
for an example of suffering
evil, of labour and patience,
the prophets, who spoke
in the name of the Lord.
11 Behold we account
them blessed who have endured.
You have heard of
the patience of Job, and
you have seen the end of
the Lord, that the Lord
is merciful and compassionate.
12 But above all things,
my brethren, swear not,
neither by heaven, nor by
the earth, nor by any other
oath. But let your speech
be: yea, yea: no, no: that
you fall not under judgment.
13 Is any of you sad?
Let him pray. Is he chearful
in mind? Let him sing.
14 Is any man sick among
you? noteLet him
bring in the priests 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
man; and the Lord shall
raise him up: and if he be
in sins, they shall be forgiven
him.
16 noteConfess therefore
your sins one to another; and
pray one for another, that
-- --
you may be saved: for the
continual prayer of a just man
availeth much.
17 Elias was a man passible
like unto us: and with
prayer he prayed that it might
not rain upon the earth, and it
rained not for three years and
six months.
18 And he prayed again: and
the heaven gave rain, and the
earth brought forth her fruit.
19 My brethren, if any
of you err from the truth,
and one convert him:
20 He must know, that
he who causeth a sinner to be
converted from the error of his
way, shall save his soul from
death, and shall cover a multitude
of sins.
