Patience in Suffering
7 Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming.(A) See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting(B) for the autumn and spring rains.(C) 8 You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord’s coming(D) is near.(E) 9 Don’t grumble against one another, brothers and sisters,(F) or you will be judged. The Judge(G) is standing at the door!(H)
10 Brothers and sisters, as an example of patience in the face of suffering, take the prophets(I) who spoke in the name of the Lord. 11 As you know, we count as blessed(J) those who have persevered. You have heard of Job’s perseverance(K) and have seen what the Lord finally brought about.(L) The Lord is full of compassion and mercy.(M)

Psalm 50:8
New International Version
Job 21:7-34
New International Version
7 Why do the wicked live on,
growing old and increasing in power?(A)
8 They see their children established around them,
their offspring before their eyes.(B)
9 Their homes are safe and free from fear;(C)
the rod of God is not on them.(D)
10 Their bulls never fail to breed;
their cows calve and do not miscarry.(E)
11 They send forth their children as a flock;(F)
their little ones dance about.
12 They sing to the music of timbrel and lyre;(G)
they make merry to the sound of the pipe.(H)
13 They spend their years in prosperity(I)
and go down to the grave(J) in peace.[a](K)
14 Yet they say to God, ‘Leave us alone!(L)
We have no desire to know your ways.(M)
15 Who is the Almighty, that we should serve him?
What would we gain by praying to him?’(N)
16 But their prosperity is not in their own hands,
so I stand aloof from the plans of the wicked.(O)
17 “Yet how often is the lamp of the wicked snuffed out?(P)
How often does calamity(Q) come upon them,
the fate God allots in his anger?(R)
18 How often are they like straw before the wind,
like chaff(S) swept away(T) by a gale?(U)
19 It is said, ‘God stores up the punishment of the wicked for their children.’(V)
Let him repay the wicked, so that they themselves will experience it!(W)
20 Let their own eyes see their destruction;(X)
let them drink(Y) the cup of the wrath of the Almighty.(Z)
21 For what do they care about the families they leave behind(AA)
when their allotted months(AB) come to an end?(AC)
22 “Can anyone teach knowledge to God,(AD)
since he judges even the highest?(AE)
23 One person dies in full vigor,(AF)
completely secure and at ease,(AG)
24 well nourished(AH) in body,[b]
bones(AI) rich with marrow.(AJ)
25 Another dies in bitterness of soul,(AK)
never having enjoyed anything good.
26 Side by side they lie in the dust,(AL)
and worms(AM) cover them both.(AN)
27 “I know full well what you are thinking,
the schemes by which you would wrong me.
28 You say, ‘Where now is the house of the great,(AO)
the tents where the wicked lived?’(AP)
29 Have you never questioned those who travel?
Have you paid no regard to their accounts—
30 that the wicked are spared from the day of calamity,(AQ)
that they are delivered from[c] the day of wrath?(AR)
31 Who denounces their conduct to their face?
Who repays them for what they have done?(AS)
32 They are carried to the grave,
and watch is kept over their tombs.(AT)
33 The soil in the valley is sweet to them;(AU)
everyone follows after them,
and a countless throng goes[d] before them.(AV)
Revelation 13:3-10
New International Version
3 One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed.(A) The whole world was filled with wonder(B) and followed the beast. 4 People worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked, “Who is like(C) the beast? Who can wage war against it?”
5 The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies(D) and to exercise its authority for forty-two months.(E) 6 It opened its mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven.(F) 7 It was given power to wage war(G) against God’s holy people and to conquer them. And it was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation.(H) 8 All inhabitants of the earth(I) will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life,(J) the Lamb(K) who was slain from the creation of the world.[a](L)
9 Whoever has ears, let them hear.(M)
10 “If anyone is to go into captivity,
into captivity they will go.
If anyone is to be killed[b] with the sword,
with the sword they will be killed.”[c](N)
This calls for patient endurance and faithfulness(O) on the part of God’s people.(P)

Psalm 73:3-14
New International Version
4 They have no struggles;
their bodies are healthy and strong.[a]
5 They are free(C) from common human burdens;
they are not plagued by human ills.
6 Therefore pride(D) is their necklace;(E)
they clothe themselves with violence.(F)
7 From their callous hearts(G) comes iniquity[b];
their evil imaginations have no limits.
8 They scoff, and speak with malice;(H)
with arrogance(I) they threaten oppression.(J)
9 Their mouths lay claim to heaven,
and their tongues take possession of the earth.
10 Therefore their people turn to them
and drink up waters in abundance.[c]
11 They say, “How would God know?
Does the Most High know anything?”
