James 5:1-6 (Revised Standard Version w/ Apocrypha)
View In My Bible
1
Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you.
2
Your riches have rotted and your garments are moth-eaten.
3
Your gold and silver have rusted, and their rust will be evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasure for the last days.
4
Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out; and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts.
5
You have lived on the earth in luxury and in pleasure; you have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter.
6
You have condemned, you have killed the righteous man; he does not resist you.
