Gen Z: James 5
1Yo rich peeps, it's time to weep and howl 'cause your struggles are coming, no cap.
2Your cash is all messed up, and your fits are looking worn out, fr.
3Your gold and silver are straight up rusted; that rust is gonna witness against you and burn like fire. You’ve stacked treasure for the last days, bet.
4Check it, the pay for the workers who harvested your fields is being held back by fraud, and they’re crying out; their cries reached the ears of the Lord, no cap.
5You’ve been living it up on earth, acting all wild; you’ve fed your hearts like it’s a day of slaughter, periodt.
6You’ve judged and taken out the just, and they’re not even fighting back, savage.
7So be patient, fam, until the Lord shows up. The farmer’s waiting for the good fruit and has mad patience for it, until he gets the early and late rain, fr.
8You too, be patient; get your hearts right, 'cause the Lord is coming in hot.
9Don’t hold grudges against each other, fam, or you’ll be judged; the judge is straight up at the door, no cap.
10Take the prophets as your inspo for dealing with tough times and patience, bet.
11For real, we call them blessed who hang in there. You’ve heard about Job’s patience and seen how the Lord came through; He’s super compassionate and full of mercy, fr.
12But for real, don’t swear by heaven or earth or anything else; just let your yes be yes and your no be no, or you’ll catch some heat, periodt.
13Is anyone feeling down? Pray it out. Is anyone vibing? Sing some psalms, lit.
14Is someone sick? Call up the church elders and let them pray over you, anointing you with oil in the Lord’s name.
15The prayer of faith will heal the sick, and the Lord will lift them up; if they've messed up, they’ll be forgiven, fr.
16Confess your mess-ups to each other and pray for one another so you can heal. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful, no cap.
17Elijah was just like us and prayed hard for no rain, and it didn't rain for three and a half years, bet.
18Then he prayed again, and the sky brought the rain, and the earth produced its fruit, lit.
19Bros, if any of you go off the path and someone brings them back;
20Let them know that saving a sinner from their wrongs will save a soul from death and cover a ton of sins, periodt.
