James 5:11 Behold, we count them happy which endure. You have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord… The outside of a stained window looks dingy and unsightly, it has no beauty or attraction; and so the coloured windows of pain, sickness, or bereavement may, to the children of this world, appear gloomy and uninviting; but from within what a grand and radiant sight is disclosed! — the common, familiar sights of this world are hidden, but what tiring light and glory is revealed within. (H. Macmillan.) Parallel Verses KJV: Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy. |
