THE CRIES OF THEM WHICH HAVE REAPED ARE ENTERED INTO THE EARS OF THE LORD OF SABAOTH
JAMES 5:1-9
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.
GRUDGE NOT ONE AGAINST
ANOTHER, BRETHREN, LEST YE BE CONDEMNED:
BEHOLD, THE JUDGE
STANDETH BEFORE THE DOOR.
LOVE
