James 4:9-11

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁹ Be miserable and mourn and weep. Your laughter must change to mourning and your joy to sorrow.^{(A) 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.^(B)
