Patience Jacob 5:7. Therefore you must now have patience, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. See, the farmer expects the valuable fruit from the earth, when he has patience over it until it has taken early rain and late rain. 8. You too must now be patient, you must strengthen your hearts, because the coming of the Lord has drawn near: 9. do not murmur, brothers, against one another so that you would not be judged: behold the Judge has been standing before the doors. 10. You must now take as an example, brothers, the suffering and the patience of the prophets, those who spoke in the name of the Lord. 11. Behold we consider blessed those who hold out: you have heard of the patience of Job and you have seen the Lord’s reward, the end of Job’s trial, because the Lord is sympathetic and compassionate.
