James v. I Go to now, ye rich Men, weep and howl for your Miferies that fhall come upon you. 2 Your Riches are corrupted, and your Garments are Moth-eaten. 3 Your Gold and Silver is cankered; and the Ruft of them fhall be a Witness against you, and fhall eat your Flefh as it were Fire: ye have heaped Treasure together for the laft Days. 4 Behold, the HIRE of the Labour ers which have reaped down your Fields, which is of you kept back by Fraud, crieth: and the Cries of them which have reaped, are entred into the Ears of the LORD of Sabaoth. s Ye have lived in Pleafure on the Earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your Hearts, as in a Day of Slaughter. 6 Ye have condemned, and killed the Juft; and he doth not resist you. 36 Take thou no Ufury of him, or Increase: but FEAR thy GoD; that thy Brother may live with thee. 37 Thou shalt not give him thy Money upon Ufury, nor lend him thy Victuals for Increase. 38 I am the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the Land of Egypt, to give you the Land of Canaan, and to be your GOD. 39 And if thy Brother that dwelleth by thee be waxen poor, and be fold unto thee; thou fhalt not compel him to ferve as a Bond-fervant : 40 But as an hired Servant, and as a Sojourner, he fhall be with thee, and fhall ferve thee unto the Year of Jubilee. 41 And then fhall he depart from thee, both he and his Children with him, and shall return unto his own Family, and unto the Poffeffion of his Father fhall he return. 42 For they are my Servants, which I brought forth out of the Land of Egypt: they fhall not be fold as Bond-men. 43 Thou fhalt not rule over him with RIGOUR, but fhalt FEAR thy God. 44 Both thy Bond-men, and thy Bond-maids, which thou shalt have, fhall be of the Heathen that are round about you; of them fhall ye buy Bond-men and Bond-maids. 45 Moreover, of the Children of the Strangers that do fojourn fojourn among you, of them fhall ye buy, and of their Fa→ milies that are with you, which they begat in your Land: ' and they shall be your Poffeffion. 45 And ye fhall take them as an Inheritance for your Children after you, to inherit them for a Poffeffion, they fhall be your Bond-men for ever: but over your Brethren the Children of Ifrael, ye shall not rule one over another with Rigour. 47 And if a Sojourner or Stranger wax rich by thee, and thy Brother that dwelleth by him wax poor, and fell himself unto the Stranger or Sojourner by thee, or to the Stock of the Stranger's Family : 48 After that he is fold, he may be redeemed again; one of his Brethren may redeem him: 49 Either his Uncle, or his Uncle's Son may redeem him, or any that is nigh of Kin unto him, of his Family, may redeem him; or if he be able, he may redeem himself. 50 And he shall reckon with him that bought him, from the Year that he was fold to him, unto the Year of Jubilee : and the Price of his Sale fhall be according unto the Number of Years, according to the Time of an hired Servant fhall it be with him. 51 If there be yet many Years behind; according unto them he fhall give again the Price of his Redemption, out of the Money that he was bought for. 52 And if there rem n but few Years unto the Year of Jubilee, then he shall count with him, and according unto his Years fhall he give him again the Price of his Redemption. 53 And as a yearly hired Servant shall he be WITH him: and the other fhall not rule with Rigour over him in thy Sight. 54 And if he be not redeemed in thefe Years, then he fhall go out in the Year of Jubilee, both he, and his Children with him. 55 For unto me the Children of Ifrael are Servants, they are my Servants whom I brought forth out of the Land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
