James 5:9-11
New English Translation
9 Do not grumble against one another, brothers and sisters,[a] so that you may not be judged. See, the judge stands before the gates![b] 10 As an example of suffering and patience, brothers and sisters,[c] take the prophets who spoke in the Lord’s name. 11 Think of how we regard[d] as blessed those who have endured. You have heard of Job’s endurance and you have seen the Lord’s purpose, that the Lord is full of compassion and mercy.[e]
