SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:9
Hermanos, no os quejis unos contra otros, para que no seis condenados. He aquí, el juez est delante de la puerta.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - James 5:9
Verse 9. Grudge not] mh stenazete? Groan not; grumble not; do not murmur through impatience; and let not any ill treatment which you receive, induce you to vent your feelings in imprecations against your oppressors. Leave all this in the hands of God. Lest ye be condemned] By giving way to a spirit of this kind, you will get under the condemnation of the wicked.
The judge standeth before the door.] His eye is upon every thing that is wrong in you, and every wrong that is done to you; and he is now entering into judgment with your oppressors.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 9. Grudge not one against another, brethren , etc.] On account of any happiness, temporal or spiritual, which another enjoys; do not inwardly repine at it; or secretly sigh and groan in an envious manner at it, though nothing may be said, as the word used signifies; much less complain of, accuse, and condemn one another, or meditate and seek revenge: lest ye be condemned ; hereafter, at the bar of Christ, by the Judge of the whole earth, who is privy to the secret murmurings and grumblings, and the envious sighs and groans of men; (see Matthew 7:1) behold the judge standeth before the door ; there is another that judgeth, who is the Lord, and he is at hand; he is just at the door; a little while and he will come, and not tarry; which may refer not to Christ's coming to destroy Jerusalem, but to his second coming to judgment, which will be quickly; for the Gospel times are the last times; there will be no other age; at the end of this, Christ will come.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 7-11 - Consider him that waits for a crop of corn; and will not you wait for crown of glory? If you should be called to wait longer than the husbandman, is not there something more worth waiting for? In ever sense the coming of the Lord drew nigh, and all his people's losses hardships, and sufferings, would be repaid. Men count time long because they measure it by their own lives; but all time is as nothin to God; it is as a moment. To short-lived creatures a few years seem a age; but Scripture, measuring all things by the existence of God reckons thousands of years but so many days. God brought about thing in Job's case, so as plainly to prove that he is very pitiful and of tender mercy. This did not appear during his troubles, but was seen in the event, and believers now will find a happy end to their trials. Le us serve our God, and bear our trials, as those who believe that the end will crown all. Our eternal happiness is safe if we trust to him all else is mere vanity, which soon will be done with for ever.
