James 5:3
| ← James 5:2 | James 5:3 (KJV) | James 5:4 → |
|---|---|---|
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.
