James 4:9-11
New English Translation
9 Grieve, mourn,[a] and weep. Turn your laughter[b] into mourning and your joy into despair. 10 Humble yourselves before the Lord and he will exalt you.
11 Do not speak against one another, brothers and sisters.[c] He who speaks against a fellow believer[d] or judges a fellow believer speaks against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but its judge.[e]
