James 5:5
_ _ Translate, “Ye have luxuriated ... and wantoned.” The former expresses luxurious effeminacy; the latter, wantonness and prodigality. Their luxury was at the expense of the defrauded poor (James 5:4).
_ _ on the earth — The same earth which has been the scene of your wantonness, shall be the scene of the judgment coming on you: instead of earthly delights ye shall have punishments.
_ _ nourished ... hearts — that is glutted your bodies like beasts to the full extent of your hearts’ desire; ye live to eat, not eat to live.
_ _ as in a day of slaughter — The oldest authorities omit “as.” Ye are like beasts which eat to their hearts’ content on the very day of their approaching slaughter, unconscious it is near. The phrase answers to “the last days,” James 5:3, which favors Alford’s translation there, “in,” not “for.” |

Ye have cherished your hearts — Have indulged yourselves to the uttermost. As in a day of sacrifice — Which were solemn feast — days among the Jews. |
