James 5

Gen Z: James 5

1Yo rich peeps, it's time to weep and howl 'cause your struggles are coming, no cap.

2Your cash is all messed up, and your fits are looking worn out, fr.

3Your gold and silver are straight up rusted; that rust is gonna witness against you and burn like fire. You’ve stacked treasure for the last days, bet.

4Check it, the pay for the workers who harvested your fields is being held back by fraud, and they’re crying out; their cries reached the ears of the Lord, no cap.

5You’ve been living it up on earth, acting all wild; you’ve fed your hearts like it’s a day of slaughter, periodt.

6You’ve judged and taken out the just, and they’re not even fighting back, savage.

7So be patient, fam, until the Lord shows up. The farmer’s waiting for the good fruit and has mad patience for it, until he gets the early and late rain, fr.

8You too, be patient; get your hearts right, 'cause the Lord is coming in hot.

9Don’t hold grudges against each other, fam, or you’ll be judged; the judge is straight up at the door, no cap.

10Take the prophets as your inspo for dealing with tough times and patience, bet.

11For real, we call them blessed who hang in there. You’ve heard about Job’s patience and seen how the Lord came through; He’s super compassionate and full of mercy, fr.

12But for real, don’t swear by heaven or earth or anything else; just let your yes be yes and your no be no, or you’ll catch some heat, periodt.

13Is anyone feeling down? Pray it out. Is anyone vibing? Sing some psalms, lit.

14Is someone sick? Call up the church elders and let them pray over you, anointing you with oil in the Lord’s name.

15The prayer of faith will heal the sick, and the Lord will lift them up; if they've messed up, they’ll be forgiven, fr.

16Confess your mess-ups to each other and pray for one another so you can heal. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful, no cap.

17Elijah was just like us and prayed hard for no rain, and it didn't rain for three and a half years, bet.

18Then he prayed again, and the sky brought the rain, and the earth produced its fruit, lit.

19Bros, if any of you go off the path and someone brings them back;

20Let them know that saving a sinner from their wrongs will save a soul from death and cover a ton of sins, periodt.

KJV: James 5

1Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.

2Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.

3Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.

4Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.

5Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.

6Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.

7Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.

8Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.

9Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.

10Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.

11Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.

12But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.

13Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.

14Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:

15And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

16Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

17Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.

18And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.

19Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;

20Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.
