7Therefore have patience, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. Look, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, having patience upon it until he receives the early and the late.8You also have patience and establish your hearts, because the coming of the Lord has drawn near.9Do not groan against one another, brothers, so that you may not be judged. Look, the judge is standing before the doors.10Take, brothers, the example of the suffering and the patience of the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.11Look, we count blessed those who endured. You have heard of the perseverance of Job and have seen the goal of the Lord, that the Lord is very compassionate and merciful.12Above all, then, my brothers, do not swear, neither by heaven nor by earth nor by any other oath. Instead let your yes be yes and your no be no, so that you may not fall under judgment.
