Note that the OET uses ‘Yacob’ for ‘The Letter of Jacob’ (wrongly called ‘James’ in older Bibles).

This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

The bad ending of wealthy prigs

5:1 The bad ending of wealthy prigs

5So you wealthy people, come and cry about the miseries that are about to hit you all. 2Your riches have rotted and your clothes have become moth-eaten.[ref] 3Your gold and silver has corroded, and that corrosion will speak out against you and will eat away your bodies like fire because you stored up wealth in this final age. 4The unpaid wages of the workers who harvested your fields are crying out[ref] and the desperate requests of those harvesters have been heard by the master of platoons of messengers. 5You have indulged yourselves and lived luxuriously but you’ve been fattening yourselves up as the time for your slaughter approaches. 6You all convicted innocent people and had them executed, even when they weren’t doing anything against you.


5:2-3: Mat 6:19.

5:4: Deu 24:14-15.
