Proverbs 14:31; Malachi 3:5
1. How does God identify with oppressed workers?
He who oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors God.
"So I will come near to you for judgment. I will be quick to testify against sorcerers, adulterers and perjurers, against those who defraud laborers of their wages, who oppress the widows and the fatherless, and deprive aliens of justice, but do not fear me," says the LORD Almighty.
James 5:1-6
2. Why did James criticise rich people?
The rich people have hoarded wealth in the last days. The wages they failed to pay the workmen who mowed their fields are crying out against them. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty.
The rich people have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. They have fattened themselves in the day of slaughter. They have also condemned and murdered innocent men.
