5 Vous avez vécu sur la terre dans les voluptés et dans les délices, vous avez rassasié vos cœurs au jour du carnage.

6 Vous avez condamné, vous avez tué le juste, qui ne vous a pas résisté.

7 Soyez donc patients, frères jusqu’à l’avènement du Seigneur. Voici, le laboureur attend le précieux fruit de la terre, prenant patience à son égard, jusqu’à ce qu’il ait reçu les pluies de la première et de l’arrière-saison.

8 Vous aussi, soyez patients, affermissez vos cœurs, car l’avènement du Seigneur est proche.

9 Ne vous plaignez pas les uns des autres, frères, afin que vous ne soyez pas jugés: voici, le juge est à la porte.
