New Testament

James 4:9-13 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

9. Be miserable and mourn and weep. Your laughter must change to mourning and your joy to sorrow.

10. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will exalt you.

11. Don’t criticize one another, brothers. He who criticizes a brother or judges his brother criticizes the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge.

12. There is one lawgiver and judge who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor?

13. Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will travel to such and such a city and spend a year there and do business and make a profit.”
