O rich ones, wail and weep over the miseries that are coming upon you.

For your wealth is spoiled and putrid, and your garments are eaten by moths.

And your gold and your silver have rusted, and their rust is becoming a testimony against you, and it will eat your flesh. You have heaped up fire for yourselves for the last days.

The wages of the laborers who reaped your lands, which you wrongfully withheld, cry out, and the cry of the reapers has entered the ears of Master YHWH of Sabaoth.

For you have lived in pleasure on the earth and revelled, and you have fattened your bodies as for a day of slaughter.

You have condemned and killed the just, and he did not stand against you.

But you, my brothers, lengthen your spirit until the coming of Master YHWH, like the farmer who waits for the precious fruits of his ground and lengthens his spirit over them until he receives the early and the latter rain.

So also you, lengthen your spirit and strengthen your hearts, for the coming of our Master has drawn near.

Do not groan one against another, my brothers, so that you will not be judged; for look, the judge stands before the door.

Take for yourselves the example of the prophets, my brothers, of lengthening of spirit in your afflictions, those who spoke in the name of Master YHWH.

For look, we give blessing to those who have endured. You have heard of the endurance of Iyov, and you have seen the end that Master YHWH made for him, because Master YHWH is merciful and compassionate.

But before everything, my brothers, do not be swearing, neither by heaven nor by earth nor by any other oath, but let your word be yes, yes, and no, no, so that you will not fall under judgment.

And if anyone among you is in affliction, let him pray; and if he is joyful, let him sing psalms.

And if he is sick, let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of our Master.

And the prayer of faith heals the one who is sick, and our Master raises him up; and if sins have been done by him, they are forgiven him.

Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that you may be healed; for great is the power of the prayer that a righteous one prays.

Eliyahu also was a man of feelings like us, and he prayed that rain would not come down on the earth, and it did not come down for three years and six months.

And again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth gave its fruits.

My brothers, if anyone among you errs from the way of truth, and someone turns him back from his error,

let him know that he who turns the sinner from the error of his way will give life to his soul from death, and will cover a multitude of his sins.
