James 5:4
Compare all
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.  
6 You have condemned, you have murdered the just; he does not resist you.

Be Patient and Persevering

7 Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain.
8 You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord1 is at hand.

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.
