Epistle of James (Ya'aqub) - Chapter 5:

1 Those of you with riches stored up, you should be wailing and weeping due to the troubles that are coming upon you. 2 For your riches have become spoiled and have begun to smell; and your garments are full of holes, being consumed by moths. 3 Your gold and your silver have become covered with corrosion; and its corrosion will be a witness against you, and it will consume your flesh. Such a great fire will you have blazing against you in the last days. 4 Behold, the wages of the labourers who worked in your fields, which you have wrongfully kept for yourself, cries out; and the crying of the reapers has entered the ears of Mar-Yah Tzivaoth. 5 For you have lived in pleasure on the earth, and revelled, and filled your bodies as in a day of slaughter. 6 You have condemned and murdered the tzadikim, and none of them were able to stand against your strength. 7 But, my brethren, be patient until the coming of Mar-Yah; be patient like the caretaker of the field who waits for the precious fruits of his soil and is patient until he receives the early and the latter rain. 8 You too should be patient in like this and strengthen your hearts; for the coming of Maran is close.

9 My brethren, do not be grumbling against one another because indeed you will be judged: for look! The judgment is at the door. 10 My brethren, for patience in your afflictions look to the example of the prophets who spoke in the Name of Mar-Yah. 11 For look, we ascribe blessedness to them who have borne suffering. You have heard of the patience of Iyov, and you have seen the result that Mar-Yah brought about for him - for Mar-Yah is full of mercy and compassion.

12 My brethren, above all things, discontinue making false oaths; neither by heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath, but let your determination be steadfast; unless you do this you will become subject to the judgment.

13 And if any of you shall have afflictions, let him pray; or if he is joyous, let him sing Tehillim. 14 And if he is sick, let him call for the older ones of the congregation; and let them pray for him, and anoint him with oil in the Name of Maran; 15 and by the prayer of faith he will be healed from his illness, and Maran will raise him up; and if he has committed sins, they will be forgiven him.

16 And confess your sins to Alaha, to one another, to the older ones of the congregation, and pray for another, that you may be healed; for great is the power of the prayer of the tzadik. 17 Eliyahu also was a man like us, and he prayed that rain might not descend upon the earth; and it did not descend for three years and six months. 18 And he prayed again and the heavens gave forth rain, and the earth gave forth its fruits.

19 My brethren, if one of you stray from the Way of Truth, and any one assists him from turning from such error, 20 let him know that he who turns the sinner from the error of his way will receive reward for his soul and will not see death, and will cover the multitude of his sins, provided he himself does not stray from the truth.
