James 5:3-7

New International Version

³ Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days.^{(A) 4} Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers^(B) who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries^(C) of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty.^{(D) 5} You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves^(E) in the day of slaughter.^{[a](F) 6} You have condemned and murdered^(G) the innocent one,^(H) who was not opposing you.

Patience in Suffering

⁷ Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming.^(I) See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting^(J) for the autumn and spring rains.^(K)
