James 5:6

Woes On The Rich Who Oppress Others

⁵ You have lived in luxury and pleasure on earth. You have fattened yourselves for the day of slaughter. ⁶ You have condemned and murdered the one who is righteous, even though he did not rebel against you. ⁷ So be patient, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious crop from his land, being patient with it until it receives the fall and the spring rains.
