James 5:7-11
Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain.You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.Do not grumble against one another, brethren, lest you be condemned. Behold, the Judge is standing at the door!My brethren, take the prophets, who spoke in the name of the Lord, as an example of suffering and patience.Indeed we count them blessed who endure. You have heard of the perseverance of Job and seen the end intended by the Lord— that the Lord is very compassionate and merciful.

Revelation 13:3-10
And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast.So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying,“ Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?”And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months.Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven.It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation.All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.If anyone has an ear, let him hear.He who leads into captivity shall go into captivity; he who kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

Psalms 73:3-14
For I was envious of the boastful, When I saw the prosperity of the wicked.For there are no pangs in their death, But their strength is firm.They are not in trouble as other men, Nor are they plagued like other men.Therefore pride serves as their necklace; Violence covers them like a garment.Their eyes bulge with abundance; They have more than heart could wish.They scoff and speak wickedly concerning oppression; They speak loftily.They set their mouth against the heavens, And their tongue walks through the earth.Therefore his people return here, And waters of a full cup are drained by them.And they say,“ How does God know? And is there knowledge in the Most High?”Behold, these are the ungodly, Who are always at ease; They increase in riches.Surely I have cleansed my heart in vain, And washed my hands in innocence.For all day long I have been plagued, And chastened every morning.

Isaiah 10:13-14
For he says:“ By the strength of my hand I have done it, And by my wisdom, for I am prudent; Also I have removed the boundaries of the people, And have robbed their treasuries; So I have put down the inhabitants like a valiant man.My hand has found like a nest the riches of the people, And as one gathers eggs that are left, I have gathered all the earth; And there was no one who moved his wing, Nor opened his mouth with even a peep.”

Job 21:7-34
Why do the wicked live and become old, Yes, become mighty in power?Their descendants are established with them in their sight, And their offspring before their eyes.Their houses are safe from fear, Neither is the rod of God upon them.Their bull breeds without failure; Their cow calves without miscarriage.They send forth their little ones like a flock, And their children dance.They sing to the tambourine and harp, And rejoice to the sound of the flute.They spend their days in wealth, And in a moment go down to the grave.Yet they say to God,‘ Depart from us, For we do not desire the knowledge of Your ways.Who is the Almighty, that we should serve Him? And what profit do we have if we pray to Him?’Indeed their prosperity is not in their hand; The counsel of the wicked is far from me.“ How often is the lamp of the wicked put out? How often does their destruction come upon them, The sorrows God distributes in His anger?They are like straw before the wind, And like chaff that a storm carries away.They say,‘ God lays up one’s iniquity for his children’; Let Him recompense him, that he may know it.Let his eyes see his destruction, And let him drink of the wrath of the Almighty.For what does he care about his household after him, When the number of his months is cut in half?“ Can anyone teach God knowledge, Since He judges those on high?One dies in his full strength, Being wholly at ease and secure;His pails are full of milk, And the marrow of his bones is moist.Another man dies in the bitterness of his soul, Never having eaten with pleasure.They lie down alike in the dust, And worms cover them.“ Look, I know your thoughts, And the schemes with which you would wrong me.For you say,‘ Where is the house of the prince? And where is the tent, The dwelling place of the wicked?’Have you not asked those who travel the road? And do you not know their signs?For the wicked are reserved for the day of doom; They shall be brought out on the day of wrath.Who condemns his way to his face? And who repays him for what he has done?Yet he shall be brought to the grave, And a vigil kept over the tomb.The clods of the valley shall be sweet to him; Everyone shall follow him, As countless have gone before him.How then can you comfort me with empty words, Since falsehood remains in your answers?”
