King James Version
2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.
4 Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.
5 Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.
6 Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.
7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.

You have hoarded wealth in the last days.(B) 4 Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers(C) who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries(D) of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty.(E) 5 You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves(F) in the day of slaughter.[a](G) 6 You have condemned and murdered(H) the innocent one,(I) who was not opposing you.
Patience in Suffering
7 Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming.(J) See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting(K) for the autumn and spring rains.(L)
