"Ye have lived delicately on the earth, and taken your pleasure; ye have nourished your hearts in a day of slaughter. "
— James 5:5, American Standard Version
“Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.”
“You have lived delicately on the earth, and taken your pleasure. You have nourished your hearts as in a day of slaughter.”
“You have lived indulgently and luxuriously on the earth. You have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter.”
“You have feasted upon earth: and in riotousness you have nourished your hearts, in the day of slaughter.”
“You have been living delicately on earth and have taken your pleasure; you have made your hearts fat for a day of destruction.”
“Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.”
Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten.
Your gold and your silver are rusted; and their rust shall be for a testimony against you, and shall eat your flesh as fire. Ye have laid up your treasure in the last days.
Behold, the hire of the laborers who mowed your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth out: and the cries of them that reaped have entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth.
Ye have lived delicately on the earth, and taken your pleasure; ye have nourished your hearts in a day of slaughter.
Ye have condemned, ye have killed the righteous one; he doth not resist you.
Be patient therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it, until it receive the early and latter rain.
Be ye also patient; establish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord is at hand.
