James:5:1-8
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Go to now ,
ye rich men ,
weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you .
*
Your riches are corrupted ,
and your garments are motheaten .
*
Your gold and silver is cankered ;
and the rust of them shall be a witness against you ,
and shall eat your flesh as it were fire .
Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days .
*
Behold ,
the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields ,
which is of you kept back by fraud ,
crieth :
and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth .
*
Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth ,
and been wanton ;
ye have nourished your hearts ,
as in a day of slaughter .
*
Ye have condemned and killed the just ;
and he doth not resist you .
*
Be patient therefore ,
brethren ,
unto the coming of the Lord .
Behold ,
the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth ,
and hath long patience for it ,
until he receive the early and latter rain .
*
Be ye also patient ;
stablish your hearts :
for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh .
