In context

5 You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened your hearts in the day of slaughter.

6 You have condemned and murdered the righteous, who did not resist you.

7 Be patient, then, brothers, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer awaits the precious fruit of the soil—how patient he is for the fall and spring rains.

8 You, too, be patient and strengthen your hearts, because the Lord’s coming is near.

9 Do not complain about one another, brothers, so that you will not be judged. Look, the Judge is standing at the door!

10 Brothers, as an example of patience in affliction, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.

11 See how blessed we consider those who have persevered. You have heard of Job’s perseverance and have seen the outcome from the Lord. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy.
