1 Come on, those who are wealthy now, weep, crying out upon your coming hardships!
2 Your wealth is putrefied and your garments have become moth-eaten!
3 Your gold and silver are corroded and their corrosion shall be for a testimony to you and it shall eat your flesh as fire. You have saved up for the last days.
4 Behold, the wages of the laborers reaping your fields which have been withheld by you cry out, and the cries of the harvesters have entered into the ears of the Prince of Armies!
5 You have lived luxuriously and lewdly upon the earth: you have nourished your hearts in a day of slaughter!
6 You have condemned, you have murdered the righteous, who did not oppose you!
7 Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Prince. Behold, the farmer awaits the precious fruit of the earth, having patience for it until he should receive the early and the late.
8 You also have patience. Establish your hearts, because the coming of the Prince has approached.
9 Do not bemoan, brethren, against one another, in order that you would not be judged. Behold: the Judge stands at the door!
10 Take as an example, brethren, of ill-suffering and of patience those prophets who have spoken in the Name of the Prince.
11 Behold, we are blessed who are enduring. You have heard of the endurance of Iob and you know the accomplishment of the Prince, that the Prince is very affectionate and compassionate.
12 But before all, my brethren, do not swear, not even on heaven nor on the earth nor any other oath, but it must be from you the yes "Yes" and the no "No", in order that you would not fall under judgment.
13 One who suffers ill among you must pray. One who is cheerful must sing.
14 One who is sick among you must summon the elders of the assembly and they shall pray for him anointing him with olive oil in the Name of the Prince,
15 and the prayer of the faith shall save the afflicted, and the Prince shall raise him. And if an error may have been committed, it shall be remitted for him.
16 Therefore acknowledge faults to one another, and pray for one another that you may be healed. The entreaty of the righteous being employed prevails much.
17 Elijah was a man of like nature with us, and in prayer he prayed for it not to rain, and it did not rain upon the earth for three years and six months.
18 And again he prayed, and the heaven had given rain and the earth sprouted her fruit.
19 My brethren, if one among you should stray from the truth and one should correct him,
20 you must know that he correcting a wrongdoer from the error of his way shall save his soul from death, and shall cover a multitude of errors!
