James addressed the rich who exploited the poor and those who failed to stand up to the sin - James 5:1-6

Withholding wages, even overnight - was considered cheating a labor by underpaying him - Deuteronomy 24:14-15

v5 - the "day of slaughter" was the day an animal was slaughtered and mostly all eaten since there was no refrigeration

v6 - they were "condemning and murdering" innocent men
Actively - cast their vote against the lower castes
Passively - failed to defend them

Am I passionate about advocating for the poor?
