  • Jas 4:1-4 : 1 What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within your body parts? 2 You desire but do not have, so you kill.

You have hoarded wealth in the last days. 4 Look, the wages that you withheld from the workers who harvested your fields are crying out, and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of Hosts. 5 You have lived luxuriously on the earth and indulged yourselves. You have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter. 6 You have condemned and murdered the righteous person, who does not resist you.
