The Prophets Examples to the Afflicted
Scripture
KJV
Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.
ESV
As an example of suffering and patience, brothers, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
James 5:10
Poem
And shall not we aspire,
Like them our course to run?
The crown if we would wear,
The cross must first be borne.
Divinely taught, they showed the way,
First to believe, and then obey.
