James 4:13–5:6

^13dGo to now, ye that say, ^eTo day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and ^fcontinue there a year, and ^gbuy and sell, and get gain: ¹⁴Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? ^||hIt is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. ¹⁵For that ye ought to say, ⁱIf the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that. ¹⁶But now ye ^jrejoice in your ^kboastings: ^lall such ^mrejoicing is evil. ¹⁷Therefore ⁿto him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

5^aGo to now, ye ^brich men, weep and howl for your ^cmiseries that shall come upon you. ^2dYour riches are corrupted, and ^eyour garments are ^fmotheaten. ³Your gold and silver ^gis cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. ^hYe have heaped treasure together ⁱfor the last days. ⁴Behold, ^kthe hire of the labourers who have reaped down your ^lfields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and ^mthe cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of ⁿsabaoth. ^5oYe have lived in pleasure on the earth, and ^pbeen wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in ^qa day of slaughter. ^6rYe have condemned and ^skilled ^tthe just; and he doth not resist you.
