James 5:3-5
New Matthew Bible
3 Your gold and your silver are cankered, and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and will eat your flesh as it were fire.
You have heaped treasure together in your last days. 4 Behold, the wages of the labourers who have reaped down your fields (which wages you kept back by fraud) cry out, and the cries of those who reaped have entered into the ears of the Lord Sabaoth. 5 You have lived in pleasure on the earth, and in wantonness. You have fattened your hearts as in a day of slaughter.

James 5:3-5
New International Version
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.(A) 4 Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers(B) who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries(C) of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty.(D) 5 You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves(E) in the day of slaughter.[a](F)
