James 5:1-6

AUV(i) 1 Come on now, you rich people, cry and wail over the miseries that are coming upon you. 2 Your wealth has rotted and moths have eaten your clothing. 3 Your gold and silver have tarnished and their tarnish will be a testimony against you [i.e., you have hoarded your wealth instead of using it to benefit others], and they will devour your flesh as fire [i.e., your riches will ultimately consume you]. You have hoarded up your riches in these last days. 4 Look, the wages you have fraudulently refused to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out [against you]. And the cries of these harvest hands have reached the ears of the Lord of [heavenly] armies [i.e., Almighty God]. 5 You people have basked in luxury [here] on earth and lived lives devoted to pleasure. You have fattened yourselves [as sacrificial oxen] for the day of slaughter. 6 You have condemned and murdered the righteous man [i.e., the innocent person, See verse 4] and he does not [even] resist you.
