James 5:10World English Bible, Protestant Edition

The scene

The readers are asked to consider the prophets who spoke in the Lord's name as examples of suffering and perseverance.

The instruction comes beside a warning against grumbling at one another. It continues by naming Job's endurance and the Lord's compassion and mercy.

What did the prophets endure even while speaking in the Lord's name?
