雅各書 5:4 Meaning and Commentary

James 5:4

Behold the hire of the labourers, which have reaped down
your fields
The wages agreed for by the day, with the labourers in their fields, particularly their reapers; which one instance serves for many others; and is the rather mentioned, because reaping is a laborious work, and those who are employed in it have nothing to live upon but their hand labour; and especially because they are made use of in cutting down the corn when it is fully ripe, and in great plenty; wherefore, to detain their just wages from them argues great inhumanity and wickedness; and yet this was what was done by rich men:

which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth;
unto God for vengeance, as the blood of Abel did; and shows that such an evil, however privately and fraudulently it may be done, will be made public, and is a crying one:

and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of
the Lord of sabaoth;
that is, the Lord of hosts; of angels, and of men; of the host of heaven, and of the inhabitants of the earth; of Jews and Gentiles, and of rich and poor; and who has power to vindicate the cause of the latter against their rich oppressors, and will do it; his ears are open to their cries, he takes notice of them, and regards them, and will take vengeance on those that injure them. The reference is to ( Deuteronomy 24:15 ) .

雅各書 5:4 In-Context

2 你 們 的 財 物 壞 了 , 衣 服 也 被 蟲 子 咬 了 。
3 你 們 的 金 銀 都 長 了 � ; 那 � 要 證 明 你 們 的 不 是 , 又 要 吃 你 們 的 肉 , 如 同 火 燒 。 你 們 在 這 末 世 只 知 積 儹 錢 財 。
4 工 人 給 你 們 收 割 莊 稼 , 你 們 虧 欠 他 們 的 工 錢 , 這 工 錢 有 聲 音 呼 叫 , 並 且 那 收 割 之 人 的 冤 聲 已 經 入 了 萬 軍 之 主 的 耳 了 。
5 你 們 在 世 上 享 美 福 , 好 宴 樂 , 當 宰 殺 的 日 子 竟 嬌 養 你 們 的 心 。
6 你 們 定 了 義 人 的 罪 , 把 他 殺 害 , 他 也 不 抵 擋 你 們 。
