"103
JAMES 5:12
judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it. 12There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you-who are you to judge your neighbor?
Boasting About Tomorrow
13Now listen, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money." 14Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. 15Instead, you ought to say, "If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that." 16As it is, you boast and brag. All such boasting is evil. 17Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins.

- Warning to Rich Oppressors
2
5 Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail be-cause of the misery that is coming upon you. 2Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. 3Your 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. 4Look! The wages you failed to pay the work-men who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. "You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter.d You have condemned and murdered innocent men, who were not opposing you."
