James 5:1 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

That shall come upon you.— Which are coming upon you. This latter rendering is,I think, more agreeable to the original than our English version; the word επερχομεναις being a participle of the present tense. Josephus particularly observes (Bell. Jude 1:20. 30. 4:19.) how much the rich men suffered by the Romans in the Jewish war.

James 5:1

1 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
