James 5:1-8

11Come now, 2you rich people, 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 corroded, and their corrosion will 5serve as a testimony against you and will consume your flesh like fire. It is 6in the last days that you have stored up your treasure! 4Behold, 7the pay of the laborers who mowed your fields, and which has been withheld by you, cries out against you; and 8the outcry of those who did the harvesting has reached the ears of 9the Lord 10of armies. 5You have 1112lived for pleasure on the earth and lived luxuriously; you have 13fattened your hearts in 14a day of slaughter. 6You have condemned and 1516put to death 17the righteous person; he offers you no resistance.

7Therefore be patient, 18brothers and sisters, 19until the coming of the Lord. 20The farmer waits for the precious produce of the soil, being patient about it, until 21it gets 22the early and late rains. 823You too be patient; 24strengthen your hearts, for 25the coming of the Lord is 26near.
