James 5:4
James 5:4 Behold, the hire of the labourers . . . kept back by fraud. These rich men are censured for two sins; viz., the improper use of wealth, and the sinful acquisition of wealth. The Bible is everywhere the friend and protector of the laborer. To keep back the hire of the laborer is denounced everywhere. See Leviticus 19:13 De 24:14 Jer 22:13 Malachi 3:5 Job 24:6. The cries of them. Of the defrauded laborers. Are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth. God will avenge them.
