James 5:1-6
Warning to Rich Oppressors
1 Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you. 2 Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. 3 Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. 4 Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. 5 You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter. 6 You have condemned and murdered the innocent one, who was not opposing you.
To me this is saying that those that do not help others, that always worry about themselves, making sure they are taken care of and treating the ones that are ‘below them’ with such hatred, so harsh, callous, like they are trash. They try there best to cheat people so they won’t have to pay the full price for what they truly deserve. Like they are nothing and not worth the time. They hired them so they should pay them fully!
You need to stop hoarding your money and start giving it to some that need it! Charities, children’s hospitals.. things like that. When you die non of this will go with you and you will be judged on the things you did, or did not do, while on this earth!
