James 1:6-11 New English Translation (NET)

6. But he must ask in faith without doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed around by the wind.

7. For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord,

8. since he is a double-minded individual, unstable in all his ways.

9. Now the believer of humble means should take pride in his high position.

10. But the rich person’s pride should be in his humiliation, because he will pass away like a wildflower in the meadow.

11. For the sun rises with its heat and dries up the meadow; the petal of the flower falls off and its beauty is lost forever. So also the rich person in the midst of his pursuits will wither away.
