But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?
The world's judgment of the poor contrasted with God's. Ye - from whom better things might have been expected: no marvel that men of the world do so.
Despised the poor, х eetimasate (G818)] - 'dishonoured those, whom God honours, so inverting the order of God' (Calvin).
Rich - as a class.
Oppress, х katadunasteuousin (G2616)] - 'abuse their power against you.'
Draw you - is it not they х kai (G2532) autoi (G846) helkousin (G1670): those very persons whom ye partially prefer, James 2:1-4] that drag you? (namely, with violence) (Alford.)
Before the judgment seats - instituting persecutions for religion, as well as oppressive lawsuits, against, you.
