James 5:1-6

Miseries of the Rich

^aCome now, ^byou rich, ^ccry, howling over your miseries which are coming upon you. 2 ^aYour riches have rotted and your garments have become moth-eaten. 3 Your gold and your silver have rusted, and their corrosion will be a witness against you and will consume your flesh like fire. You have stored up such treasure ^ain the last days! 4 Behold, ^athe pay of the laborers who mowed your fields—that which has been withheld by you—cries out against you; and ^bthe outcries of those who did the harvesting have reached the ears of ^cthe ¹Lord of ²Sabaoth. 5 You have ^alived luxuriously on the earth and lived in self-indulgence. You have ¹fattened your hearts in a ^bday of slaughter. 6 You have condemned and ^amurdered ^bthe righteous man; ¹he does not resist you.
