Lead away, you rich men, weep and howl for your miseries shall come upon you.
Your riches are corrupted, and your clothes are moth eaten.
Your gold and silver is corroded; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. You have heaped treasure together for the last days.
Behold, the pay of the workers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, cries: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of Yahuah Tsâbâ.
You have indulged in luxury on the earth, and lived in pleasure; you have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.
You have condemned and killed the just; and he does not resist you.
Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of Âdônây. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, and has long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.
Also be patient; confirm your hearts: for the coming of Âdônây is near.
Do not murmur one against another, brethren, lest you be condemned: behold, the judge stands before the door.
Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of Âdônây, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.
Behold, fortunate is who persevere. You have heard of the patience of Îyôb, and have seen the end of Âdônây; that Âdônây is extremely compassionate, and of tender mercy.
But above all things, my brethren, do not swear, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yes be yes; and your no, no; lest you fall into condemnation.
Is any among you afflicted? Let him pray. Is any cheerful? Let him sing Tehīllīm.
Is any sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the ekklisía; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of Âdônây:
And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and Âdônây shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that you may be healed. The efficient prayer of a righteous man avails much.
Êlı̂yâhû was a man subject to passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it did not rain on the earth by the space of three years and six months.
And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.
Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;
Let him know, that he which converts the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.
