Contemporary English Version
James 5:4-6
Contemporary English Version
4 (A) You refused to pay the people who worked in your fields, and now their unpaid wages are shouting out against you. The Lord All-Powerful has surely heard the cries of the workers who harvested your crops.
5 While here on earth, you have thought only of filling your own stomachs and having a good time. But now you are like fat cattle on their way to be butchered. 6 (B) You have condemned and murdered innocent people, who couldn't even fight back.
