James 4:9-11

New American Standard Bible

^9 (A)Be miserable, and mourn, and weep; let your laughter be turned into mourning, and your joy into gloom. ^10 (B)Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you.

^11 (C)Do not speak against one another, ^(D)brothers and sisters. The one who speaks against a brother or sister, or ^(E)judges his brother or sister, speaks against ^(F)the law and judges the law; but if you judge the law, you are not ^(G)a doer of the law but a judge of it.
