James 5:4-8

4The wages you refused to pay the people who harvested your fields shout ⌞to God⌟ against you. The Lord of Armies has heard the cries of those who gather the crops.

5You have lived in luxury and pleasure here on earth. You have fattened yourselves for the day of slaughter.

6You have condemned and murdered people who have God’s approval, even though they didn’t resist you.

7Brothers and sisters, be patient until the Lord comes again. See how farmers wait for their precious crops to grow. They wait patiently for fall and spring rains.

8You, too, must be patient. Don’t give up hope. The Lord will soon be here.
