James 5:1-6

Jubilee Bible 2000

5 ¶ Come now, Oh ye rich, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.

² Your riches are rotten, and your garments are motheaten.

³ Your gold and silver is corrupted with rust; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you and shall completely eat your flesh, as fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.

⁴ Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped your fields (which you have kept back by fraud) cries out; and the cries of those who have reaped have entered into the ears of the Lord of the hosts.

⁵ Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth and been wanton; ye have refreshed your hearts, as in the day of slaughter of sacrifices.

⁶ Ye have condemned and murdered the just, and he does not resist you.
