About James 5James warns the rich who kept back the hire of their labourers by fraud that their riches are corrupted and "the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth." He tells the brethren, "Be patient therefore... unto the coming of the Lord," like the husbandman waiting for rain, and points to the prophets and "the patience of Job." He closes with prayer: let the afflicted pray and the sick call the elders, "The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much," as Elias showed, and whoever turns a sinner back "shall save a soul from death."
