4 Consider the pay of the workers who reaped your fields: it has been misappropriated by you; it cries out. And their cry has entered into the ears of the Lord of hosts.
5 You have feasted upon the earth, and you have nourished your hearts with luxuries, unto the day of slaughter.
6 You led away and killed the Just One, and he did not resist you.
7 Therefore, be patient, brothers, until the advent of the Lord. Consider that the farmer anticipates the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently, until he receives the early and the late rains.
8 Therefore, you too should be patient and should strengthen your hearts. For the advent of the Lord draws near.
