Verse 8— Be ye also patient. As the husbandman was patient, as our Lord was patient, be ye patient also, for the harvest that awaits the trustful sufferer is, beyond any doubt, certain. Stablish your hearts. That is, strengthen, fortify your hearts, for the reason that the day of your relief draweth nigh. It is not far away. This assurance is enough to give you comfort in your affliction.
