The Rich Oppressors Will Be Judged
Those who have - and are - oppressing and murdering the innocents
and the laborers - your judgment is coming saith the Lord God Almighty
in James 5:1-8
James
5:1-8
5 Come now, you rich,
weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you! 2 Your
riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten. 3 Your gold and silver are corroded, and
their corrosion will be a witness against you and will eat your flesh like
fire. You have heaped up treasure in the last days. 4 Indeed the
wages of the laborers who mowed your fields which you kept back by fraud cry
out, and the cries of the reapers have reached the ears of the Lord of
Sabaoth.* 5 You have lived
on the earth in pleasure and luxury; you have fattened your hearts as in a day of slaughter. 6 You have
condemned; you have murdered the just; he does not resist you. Be
Patient and Persevering 7 Therefore be patient, brethren, until
the coming of the Lord. See how the
farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it
until it receives the early and latter rain. 8 You
also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.
