TSK · James 5:1

lest, when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein;

And they took fortified cities, and a fat land, and possessed houses full of all good things, cisterns hewn out, vineyards, and oliveyards, and fruit-trees in abundance: so they did eat, and were filled, and became fat, and delighted themselves in thy great goodness.

From men by thy hand, O Jehovah, From men of the world, whose portion is in [this] life, And whose belly thou fillest with thy treasure: They are satisfied with children, And leave the rest of their substance to their babes.

Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, faring sumptuously every day:

But they that are minded to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and hurtful lusts, such as drown men in destruction and perdition.

But ye have dishonored the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you, and themselves drag you before the judgment-seats?

Come now, ye that say, To-day or to-morrow we will go into this city, and spend a year there, and trade, and get gain:
