James 5:4-6

Expanded Bible

⁴ [^LListen; ^TBehold] The ·pay [wages] you ·did not give [defrauded from] the workers who mowed your fields cries out against you [Lev. 19:13; Deut. 24:14–15], and the cries of the ·workers [^Lharvesters] have ·been heard by [^Lreached the ears of] the Lord ·All-Powerful [of Hosts/Armies; ^LSabaoth; ^CGod’s warrior name referring to the angelic army]. ⁵ Your life on earth was full of ·rich living [luxury] and ·pleasing yourselves with everything you wanted [pleasure; self-indulgence]. You made ·yourselves [^Lyour hearts] fat, ·like an animal ready to be killed [in/for a day of slaughter; ^Ca farm animal gorging itself, unaware it is being fattened for slaughter]. ⁶ You have ·judged guilty [condemned] and then murdered innocent people, who ·were not against [did not resist/oppose] you.
