James 5:1–6

WARNING TO THE RICH

5 Come now, you richq people, weep and wail over the miseries that are coming on you. 2 Your wealth has rotted and your clothes are moth-eaten.r 3 Your gold and silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be a witness against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have stored up treasure in the last days.s 4 Look! The pay that you withheld from the workerst who mowed your fields cries out, and the outcry of the harvesters has reached the ears of the Lord of Armies.u 5 You have lived luxuriously on the earth and have indulged yourselves. You have fattened your heartsv in a day of slaughter.w 6 You have condemned, you have murdered the righteous, who does not resist you.x
