Genesis 37:20-35
New King James Version
20 (A)Come therefore, let us now kill him and cast him into some pit; and we shall say, ‘Some wild beast has devoured him.’ We shall see what will become of his dreams!”
21 But (B)Reuben heard it, and he delivered him out of their hands, and said, “Let us not kill him.” 22 And Reuben said to them, “Shed no blood, but cast him into this pit which is in the wilderness, and do not lay a hand on him”—that he might deliver him out of their hands, and bring him back to his father.
23 So it came to pass, when Joseph had come to his brothers, that they (C)stripped Joseph of his tunic, the tunic of many colors that was on him. 24 Then they took him and cast him into a pit. And the pit was empty; there was no water in it.
25 (D)And they sat down to eat a meal. Then they lifted their eyes and looked, and there was a company of (E)Ishmaelites, coming from Gilead with their camels, bearing spices, (F)balm, and myrrh, on their way to carry them down to Egypt. 26 So Judah said to his brothers, “What profit is there if we kill our brother and (G)conceal his blood? 27 Come and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and (H)let not our hand be upon him, for he is (I)our brother and (J)our flesh.” And his brothers listened. 28 Then (K)Midianite traders passed by; so the brothers pulled Joseph up and lifted him out of the pit, (L)and sold him to the Ishmaelites for (M)twenty shekels of silver. And they took Joseph to Egypt.
29 Then Reuben returned to the pit, and indeed Joseph was not in the pit; and he (N)tore his clothes. 30 And he returned to his brothers and said, “The lad (O)is no more; and I, where shall I go?”
31 So they took (P)Joseph’s tunic, killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the tunic in the blood. 32 Then they sent the tunic of many colors, and they brought it to their father and said, “We have found this. Do you know whether it is your son’s tunic or not?”
33 And he recognized it and said, “It is my son’s tunic. A (Q)wild beast has devoured him. Without doubt Joseph is torn to pieces.” 34 Then Jacob (R)tore his clothes, put sackcloth on his waist, and (S)mourned for his son many days. 35 And all his sons and all his daughters (T)arose to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted, and he said, “For (U)I shall go down into the grave to my son in mourning.” Thus his father wept for him.

James 5:7-11
New King James Version
Be Patient and Persevering
7 Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain. 8 You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord [a]is at hand.
9 Do not [b]grumble against one another, brethren, lest you be [c]condemned. Behold, the Judge is standing at the door! 10 (A)My brethren, take the prophets, who spoke in the name of the Lord, as an example of suffering and (B)patience. 11 Indeed (C)we count them blessed who (D)endure. You have heard of (E)the perseverance of Job and seen (F)the end intended by the Lord—that (G)the Lord is very compassionate and merciful.
