Exegesis
The accusative phrase ten hypomonen Iṓb {τὴν ὑπομονὴν Ἰὼβ | tḗn hu-po-mon-ḗn Iṓb} is governed by ekousate {ἠκούσατε | ē-koú-sa-te} ‘you heard of,’ while the coordinate clause kai to telos kyriou eidete {καὶ τὸ τέλος κυρίου | kaí tò té-los ku-rí-ou} ‘and you saw the purpose of the Lord’ employs telos to denote intended outcome, indicating that observers witnessed the Lord’s purpose fulfilled.
In context — James 5:11
Behold, we call those blessed who have endured ; you have heard of the endurance of Job, and you have seen the outcome the Lord brought about, that the Lord is very compassionate and merciful.
