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. ⁵^oYe have lived in pleasure on the earth, and ^pbeen wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in ^qa day of slaughter. ⁶^rYe have condemned and ^skilled ^tthe just; and he doth not resist you.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, are crying out against you, and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts. You have lived on the earth in luxury and in self-indulgence. You have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter. You have condemned and murdered the righteous person. He does not resist you.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

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. You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter. You have condemned and murdered the innocent one, who was not opposing you.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Look! The pay that you withheld from the workers who mowed your fields cries out, and the outcry of the harvesters has reached the ears of the Lord of Armies.

You have condemned, you have murdered the righteous, who does not resist you.

NLTNew Living Translation

For listen! Hear the cries of the field workers whom you have cheated of their pay. The cries of those who harvest your fields have reached the ears of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.

You have spent your years on earth in luxury, satisfying your every desire. You have fattened yourselves for the day of slaughter. You have condemned and killed innocent people, who do not resist you.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Behold, the wages that were held back by you from the workers who reap your fields cry out, and the cries of the reapers have come to the ears of the Lord of hosts. You have lived self-indulgently on the earth and have lived luxuriously. You have fattened your hearts in the day of slaughter. You have condemned, you have murdered the righteous person; he does not resist you.
