That’s a strange expression in the King James Version of the Bible.<\/p>\n
Behold, we count them happy which endure.
\nYe have heard of the patience of Job,
\nand have seen the end of the Lord;
\nthat the Lord is very pitiful,
\nand of tender mercy.<\/p>\nJames 5:10,11<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Well, this is the Internet, so I will check in another version or translation…<\/p>\n
OK, here you go:<\/p>\n
Indeed we count them blessed who endure.
\nYou have heard of the perseverance of Job
\nand seen the end intended<\/i> by the Lord\u2014
\nthat the Lord is very compassionate and merciful.<\/p>\nNew King James Version<\/p>\n
We count those blessed who endured.
\nYou have heard of the endurance of Job
\nand have seen the outcome of the Lord’s dealings,
\nthat the Lord is full of compassion and is merciful. <\/p>\nNew American Standard Bible<\/p>\n
As you know, we count as blessed those who have persevered.
\nYou have heard of Job\u2019s perseverance
\nand have seen what the Lord finally brought about.
\nThe Lord is full of compassion and mercy.<\/p>\nNew International Version<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
