⁷ Meanwhile, friends, wait patiently for the Master's Arrival. You see farmers do this all the time, waiting for their valuable crops to mature, patiently letting the rain do its slow but sure work. ⁸ Be patient like that. Stay steady and strong. The Master could arrive at any time. ⁹ Friends, don't complain about each other. A far greater complaint could be lodged against you, you know. The Judge is standing just around the corner. ¹⁰ Take the old prophets as your mentors. They put up with anything, went through everything, and never once quit, all the time honoring God. ¹¹ What a gift life is to those who stay the course! You've heard, of course, of Job's staying power, and you know how God brought it all together for him at the end. That's because God cares, cares right down to the last detail.
