James 5:10-12

Modern English Version

¹⁰ My brothers, take the prophets, who spoke in the name of the Lord, as an example of suffering and patience. ¹¹ Indeed we count them happy who endure. You have heard of the patience of Job and have seen the purpose of the Lord, that the Lord is very gracious and merciful.

¹² But above all things, my brothers, do not swear, either by heaven or by the earth or by any other oath. But let your “Yes” be “Yes” and your “No” be “No,” that you do not fall into condemnation.
