Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on James 4:9
COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD
9. Be afflicted —literally, "Endure misery," that is, mourn over your wretchedness through sin. Repent with deep sorrow instead of your present laughter. A blessed mourning. Contrast Isaiah 22:12 ; Isaiah 22:13 ; Luke 6:25 . James does not add here, as in Luke 6:25- : , "howl," where he foretells the doom of the impenitent at the coming destruction of Jerusalem. heaviness —literally, "falling of the countenance," casting down of the eyes. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-10" class="com-number"
