James 5:6

Woes On The Rich Who Oppress Others

⁵ You have lived delicately on the earth, and taken your pleasure. You have nourished your hearts as in a day of slaughter. ⁶ You have condemned, you have murdered the righteous one. He doesn't resist you. ⁷ Be patient therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it, until it receives the early and late rain.
