Jubilee Bible 2000 JUB

New International Version NIV

1 Come now, Oh ye rich, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.

1 Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you.

2 Your riches are rotten, and your garments are motheaten.

2 Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes.

3 Your gold and silver is corrupted with rust; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you and shall completely eat your flesh, as fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.

3 Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days.

4 Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped your fields (which you have kept back by fraud) cries out; and the cries of those who have reaped have entered into the ears of the Lord of the hosts.

4 Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty.

5 Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth and been wanton; ye have refreshed your hearts, as in the day of slaughter of sacrifices.

5 You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter.

6 Ye have condemned and murdered the just, and he does not resist you.

6 You have condemned and murdered the innocent one, who was not opposing you.

7 Be patient, therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently until it receives the early and latter rain.

7 Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains.

8 Be ye also patient and confirm your hearts, for the coming of the Lord draws near.

8 You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord’s coming is near.

9 Complain not one against another, brethren, that ye not be condemned: behold, the judge stands before the door.

9 Don’t grumble against one another, brothers and sisters, or you will be judged. The Judge is standing at the door!

10 Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.

10 Brothers and sisters, as an example of patience in the face of suffering, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.

11 Behold, we count blessed those who endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job and have seen the end of the Lord, that the Lord is very merciful, and full of compassion.

11 As you know, we count as blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job’s perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy.
