  1. 7Be patient therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it, until it receives the early and late rain.
  2. 8You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.
  3. 9Don’t grumble, brothers, against one another, so that you won’t be judged. Behold, the judge stands at the door.
  4. 10Take, brothers, for an example of suffering and of perseverance, the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
  5. 11Behold, we call them blessed who endured. You have heard of the perseverance of Job, and have seen the Lord in the outcome, and how the Lord is full of compassion and mercy.
