James 5:1-6

New Revised Standard NRS

1 Come now, you rich people, weep and wail for the miseries that are coming to you.

2 Your riches have rotted, and your clothes are moth-eaten.

3 Your gold and silver have rusted, and their rust will be evidence against you, and it will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasure for the last days.

4 Listen! 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 and murdered the righteous one, who does not resist you.
