Micah 6:10-13

10 Can I forget any longer the treasures ^{▼▼Or Are there still treasures} of wickedness in the house of the wicked,
and the scant measure that is accursed?
11 Shall I acquit the man ^bwith wicked scales
and with a bag of deceitful weights?
12 Your ^{▼▼Hebrew whose} rich men are ^dfull of violence;
your inhabitants ^espeak lies,
and ^ftheir tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
13 Therefore I strike you with a grievous blow,
^gmaking you desolate because of your sins.

Zechariah 7:9-13

9 “Thus says the Lord of hosts, ^hRender true judgments, show kindness and mercy to one another, 10 ⁱdo not oppress the widow, the fatherless, the sojourner, ^jor the poor, and ^klet none of you devise evil against another in your heart.” 11 But ^lthey refused to pay attention ^mand turned a stubborn shoulder and stopped their ears that they might not hear. ^{▼▼Hebrew and made their ears too heavy to hear} 12 ^oThey made their hearts diamond-hard ^plest they should hear the law and the words that the Lord of hosts had sent ^qby his Spirit through ^rthe former prophets. ^sTherefore great anger came from the Lord of hosts. 13 ^t“As I ^{▼▼Hebrew he} called, and they would not hear, ^vso they called, and I would not hear,” says the Lord of hosts,

Malachi 3:5

5 “Then I will draw near to you for judgment. I will be ^wa swift witness against the sorcerers, against the adulterers, against those who swear falsely, against those ^xwho oppress the hired worker in his wages, ^ythe widow and the fatherless, against those who thrust aside the sojourner, and do not fear me, says the Lord of hosts.

James 2:13

13 For ^zjudgment is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

James 5:2-7

2 ^aaYour riches have rotted and ^abyour garments are moth-eaten. 3 Your gold and silver have corroded, and their corrosion will be evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire. ^acYou have laid up treasure ^adin the last days. 4 Behold, ^aethe wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, are crying out against you, and ^afthe cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of ^agthe Lord of hosts. 5 ^ahYou have lived on the earth in luxury and ^aiin self-indulgence. You have fattened your hearts in ^aja day of slaughter. 6 You have condemned and ^akmurdered ^althe righteous person. He does not resist you.

Patience in Suffering

7 Be patient, therefore, brothers, ^{▼▼Or brothers and sisters; also verses 9, 10, 12, 19} until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it, until it receives ^anthe early and the late rains.
