James 5:1-6

Christian Standard Bible

Warning to the Rich

5 Come now, you rich^(A) people, weep and wail over the miseries that are coming on you. ² Your wealth has rotted and your clothes are moth-eaten.^{(B) 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.^{(C) 4} Look! The pay that you withheld from the workers^(D) who mowed your fields cries out, and the outcry of the harvesters has reached the ears of the Lord of Armies.^{(E) 5} You have lived luxuriously on the earth and have indulged yourselves. You have fattened your hearts^(F) in a day of slaughter.^{(G) 6} You have condemned, you have murdered the righteous, who does not resist you.^(H)
