James 5:1-5 ▼

1 Come now, you rich people, weep and wail over the miseries that are coming on you.

2 Your wealth has rotted and your clothes are moth-eaten.

3 Your gold and silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be a witness against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have stored up treasure in the last days.

4 Look! The pay that you withheld from the workers who mowed your fields cries out, and the outcry of the harvesters has reached the ears of the Lord of Armies.

5 You have lived luxuriously on the earth and have indulged yourselves. You have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter.
