James 5:3 - Forerunner Commentary

James 5:3

Rich Oppressors Will Be Judged

1 Come now, you ^arich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you!

2 Your ^ariches are corrupted, and ^byour garments 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. ^aYou have heaped up treasure in the last days.

4 Indeed ^athe wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out; and ^bthe cries of the reapers have reached the ears of the Lord of¹ Sabaoth.

5 You have lived on the earth in pleasure and¹ luxury; you have fattened your hearts³ as in a day of slaughter.
