James 5:1-4 New English Translation (NET)

1. Come now, you rich! Weep and cry aloud over the miseries that are coming on you.

2. Your riches have rotted and your clothing has become moth-eaten.

3. Your gold and silver have rusted and their rust will be a witness against you. It will consume your flesh like fire. It is in the last days that you have hoarded treasure!

4. Look, the pay you have held back from the workers who mowed your fields cries out against you, and the cries of the reapers have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts.
