James 5:1-8

11Come now, 2you rich, 3weep and howl for your miseries which are coming upon you. 24Your riches have rotted and your garments have become moth-eaten. 3Your gold and your silver have rusted; and their rust will be a witness against you and will consume your flesh like fire. It is 5in the last days that you have stored up your treasure! 4Behold, 6the pay of the laborers who mowed your fields, and which has been withheld by you, cries out against you; and 7the outcry of those who did the harvesting has reached the ears of 8the Lord of 9Sabaoth. 5You have 10lived luxuriously on the earth and led a life of wanton pleasure; you have 11fattened your hearts in 12a day of slaughter. 6You have condemned and 1314put to death 15the righteous man; he does not resist you.

7Therefore be patient, 16brethren, 17until the coming of the Lord. 18The farmer waits for the precious produce of the soil, being patient about it, until 19it gets 20the early and late rains. 821You too be patient; 22strengthen your hearts, for 23the coming of the Lord is 24near.
