⁷ Go on waiting calmly, my brothers, till the coming of the Lord, like the farmer waiting for the good fruit of the earth till the early and late rains have come. ⁸ Be as calm in your waiting; let your hearts be strong: because the coming of the Lord is near. ⁹ Say no hard things against one another, brothers, so that you will not be judged; see, the judge is waiting at the doors. ¹⁰ Take as an example of pain nobly undergone and of strength in trouble, the prophets who gave to men the words of the Lord. ¹¹ We say that those men who have gone through pain are happy: you have the story of Job and the troubles through which he went and have seen that the Lord was full of pity and mercy in the end.
