James 5:4-6

Context
5:4 Look, the pay you have held back from the workers who mowed your fields cries out against you, and the cries of the reapers have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts. 5:5 You have lived indulgently and luxuriously on the earth. You have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter. 1  5:6 You have condemned and murdered the righteous person, although he does not resist you. 2

[5:5]  1 sn James’ point seems to be that instead of seeking deliverance from condemnation, they have defied God’s law (fattened your hearts) and made themselves more likely objects of his judgment (in a day of slaughter).

[5:6]  2 tn Literally a series of verbs without connectives, “you have condemned, you have murdered…he does not resist.”
