James 5:11

μακαρίζομεν : Cf. 4Ma 18:13, used in reference to Daniel. Ἰώβ : Job occupies a high place of honour in post-biblical Jewish literature, cf. the pseudepigraphic work “The Testament of Job”. τὸ τέλος Κυρίου : the final purpose of Jehovah with regard to Job; it could not refer to Christ, for the whole passage is dealing with O.T. examples. πολύσπλαγχνος : ἅπ. λεγ. in N.T. οἰκτίρμων : only elsewhere in N.T. in Luke 6:36; cf. Sir 2:11 and often in the Septuagint.
