James 5:4

4 Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.

Ver. 4. Kept back by fraud crieth ] Bloodshed, Genesis 4:10 , unnatural lust, Genesis 18:21 , and oppression (whether by force or fraud), cry to God, and he will hear, for "he is gracious," Exodus 22:27 . Oppression is a bony sin, Amos 5:12-13 .

" Clamitat in caelum vex sanguinis, et Sodomorum,

Vex oppressorum, et merces detenta laborum. "

Lord of Sabaoth ] Who hath all power in his hand, and can easily reach you.
