James 5:1-8

1ComeG33 nowG3568, ye rich menG4145, weepG2799 and wailG3649 forG1909 yourG5216 miseriesG5004 that shall come uponG1904 you .

2YourG5216 richesG4149 are corruptedG4595, andG2532 yourG5216 garmentsG2440 areG1096 motheatenG4598.

3YourG5216 goldG5557 andG2532 silverG696 is rustedG2728; andG2532 itsG846 rustG2447 shall beG2071 a witnessG3142 againstG1519 youG5213, andG2532 shall eatG5315 yourG5216 fleshG4561 as it wereG5613 fireG4442. Ye have heaped up treasureG2343 forG1722 the lastG2078 daysG2250.

4BeholdG2400, the hireG3408 of the labourersG2040 whoG3588 have reapedG270 yourG5216 fieldsG5561, whichG3588 is byG575 youG5216 kept back by fraudG650, criethG2896: andG2532 the criesG995 of them who have reapedG2325 have enteredG1525 intoG1519 the earsG3775 of the LordG2962 of HostsG4519.1

5Ye have lived in pleasureG5171 onG1909 the earthG1093, andG2532 been wantonG4684; ye have nourishedG5142 yourG5216 heartsG2588, asG5613 inG1722 a dayG2250 of slaughterG4967.

6Ye have condemnedG2613 and killedG5407 the justG1342; and he dothG498 notG3756 resistG498 youG5213.

7Be patientG3114 thereforeG3767, brethrenG80, untilG2193 the comingG3952 of the LordG2962. BeholdG2400, the farmerG1092 waitethG1551 for the preciousG5093 fruitG2590 of the earthG1093, and hath long patienceG3114 forG1909 itG846, untilG2193G302 he receivethG2983 the earlyG4406 andG2532 the latterG3797 rainG5205.2

8BeG3114 yeG5210 alsoG2532 patientG3114; establishG4741 yourG5216 heartsG2588: forG3754 the comingG3952 of the LordG2962 draweth nearG1448.
