1. Machtmissbrauch wird bestraft
2. Gerechtigkeit rettet
3. Die Ernte kommt bald
Jakobus 5,1–11 (NGÜ NT+PS)
1 Und nun zu euch Reichen: Weint und klagt wegen all des Unheils, das über euch hereinbrechen wird! 2 Der Tag kommt, an dem euer Reichtum verrottet sein wird; Motten werden eure Kleider zerfressen haben, 3 und euer Gold und Silber wird von Rost überzogen sein. Und dieser Rost wird als Beweis gegen euch dienen und wird euch zugrunde richten, als wäre er ein Feuer, das euer Fleisch verzehrt. Denn ihr habt Reichtümer angehäuft, und das, obwohl wir am Ende der Zeit leben! 4 Schlimmer noch: Den Arbeitern, die eure Felder bestellten, habt ihr den Lohn vorenthalten – ein Unrecht, das zum Himmel schreit! Die Hilferufe derer, die eure Ernte einbrachten, sind dem Herrn, dem allmächtigen Gott, zu Ohren gekommen. 5 Ihr habt hier auf der Erde ein Leben im Luxus geführt und habt euch dem Vergnügen hingegeben; ihr habt euch alles gegönnt, was euer Herz begehrt, und habt euch damit höchstpersönlich für den bevorstehenden Schlachttag gemästet, den Tag des Gerichts. 6 Ihr habt Unschuldige verurteilt und getötet – Menschen, die sich nicht gegen euch zur Wehr setzen konnten.
7 Haltet nun also geduldig aus, Geschwister, bis der Herr wiederkommt! Denkt an den Bauern, der darauf wartet, dass auf seinem Land die kostbare Ernte heranreift. Ihretwegen fasst er sich in Geduld, bis der Herbstregen und der Frühjahrsregen auf das Land gefallen sind. 8 Fasst auch ihr euch in Geduld und stärkt eure Herzen im Glauben, denn das Kommen des Herrn steht nahe bevor.
9 Klagt und jammert nicht übereinander, Geschwister, damit Gott euch nicht verurteilen muss. Denkt daran: Der Richter steht schon vor der Tür!
10 Geschwister, wenn es darum geht, im Leiden Geduld zu beweisen, nehmt euch die Propheten, die im Namen des Herrn geredet haben, zum Vorbild. 11 Schließlich ist es doch so, dass wir die glücklich preisen, die in der Prüfung standhaft geblieben sind. Ihr habt von der Standhaftigkeit Hiobs gehört und wisst, dass der Herr bei ihm alles zu einem guten Ende geführt hat, denn der Herr ist zutiefst barmherzig und voll Mitgefühl.
1 Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you. 2 Your riches have rotted and your 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. You have laid up treasure in the last days. 4 Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, are crying out against you, and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts. 5 You have lived on the earth in luxury and in self-indulgence. You have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter. 6 You have condemned and murdered the righteous person. He does not resist you.
7 Be patient, therefore, brothers, 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 the early and the late rains. 8 You also, be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand. 9 Do not grumble against one another, brothers, so that you may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing at the door. 10 As an example of suffering and patience, brothers, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. 11 Behold, we consider those blessed who remained steadfast. You have heard of the steadfastness of Job, and you have seen the purpose of the Lord, how the Lord is compassionate and merciful.
12 But above all, my brothers, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or by any other oath, but let your “yes” be yes and your “no” be no, so that you may not fall under condemnation.
Wer weint?
Wer weint?
1 Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you.
20 Moab is put to shame, for it is broken;
wail and cry!
Tell it beside the Arnon,
that Moab is laid waste.
29 We have heard of the pride of Moab—
he is very proud—
of his loftiness, his pride, and his arrogance,
and the haughtiness of his heart.
30 I know his insolence, declares the Lord;
his boasts are false,
his deeds are false.
31 Therefore I wail for Moab;
I cry out for all Moab;
for the men of Kir-hareseth I mourn.
32 More than for Jazer I weep for you,
O vine of Sibmah!
Your branches passed over the sea,
reached to the Sea of Jazer;
on your summer fruits and your grapes
the destroyer has fallen.
33 Gladness and joy have been taken away
from the fruitful land of Moab;
I have made the wine cease from the winepresses;
no one treads them with shouts of joy;
the shouting is not the shout of joy.
35 And I will bring to an end in Moab, declares the Lord, him who offers sacrifice in the high place and makes offerings to his god. 36 Therefore my heart moans for Moab like a flute, and my heart moans like a flute for the men of Kir-hareseth. Therefore the riches they gained have perished.
32 sondern wenn er betrübt hat, so erbarmt er sich auch
nach der Fülle seiner Gnade;
33 denn nicht aus Lust plagt und betrübt Er
die Menschenkinder.
2 Your riches have rotted and your 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. You have laid up treasure in the last days.
He confirms the explanation I have already given. For God has not appointed gold for rust, nor garments for moths; but, on the contrary, be has designed them as aids and helps to human life. Therefore, even spending without benefit is a witness of inhumanity. The rusting of gold and silver will be, as it were, the occasion of inflaming the wrath of God, so that it will, like fire, consume them. - Jean Calvin
1 Woe to those who devise wickedness
and work evil on their beds!
When the morning dawns, they perform it,
because it is in the power of their hand.
2 They covet fields and seize them,
and houses, and take them away;
they oppress a man and his house,
a man and his inheritance.
3 Therefore thus says the Lord:
behold, against this family I am devising disaster,
from which you cannot remove your necks,
and you shall not walk haughtily,
for it will be a time of disaster.
4 In that day they shall take up a taunt song against you
and moan bitterly,
and say, “We are utterly ruined;
he changes the portion of my people;
how he removes it from me!
To an apostate he allots our fields.”
3 He shall judge between many peoples,
and shall decide disputes for strong nations far away;
and they shall beat their swords into plowshares,
and their spears into pruning hooks;
nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
neither shall they learn war anymore;
4 but they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree,
and no one shall make them afraid,
for the mouth of the Lord of hosts has spoken.
1 Now muster your troops, O daughter of troops;
siege is laid against us;
with a rod they strike the judge of Israel
on the cheek.
2 But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah,
who are too little to be among the clans of Judah,
from you shall come forth for me
one who is to be ruler in Israel,
whose coming forth is from of old,
from ancient days.
3 Therefore he shall give them up until the time
when she who is in labor has given birth;
then the rest of his brothers shall return
to the people of Israel.
4 And he shall stand and shepherd his flock in the strength of the Lord,
in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God.
And they shall dwell secure, for now he shall be great
to the ends of the earth.
6 “With what shall I come before the Lord,
and bow myself before God on high?
Shall I come before him with burnt offerings,
with calves a year old?
7 Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams,
with ten thousands of rivers of oil?
Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression,
the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?”
8 He has told you, O man, what is good;
and what does the Lord require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness,
and to walk humbly with your God?
15 As in the days when you came out of the land of Egypt,
I will show them marvelous things.
16 The nations shall see and be ashamed of all their might;
they shall lay their hands on their mouths;
their ears shall be deaf;
17 they shall lick the dust like a serpent,
like the crawling things of the earth;
they shall come trembling out of their strongholds;
they shall turn in dread to the Lord our God,
and they shall be in fear of you.
18 Who is a God like you, pardoning iniquity
and passing over transgression
for the remnant of his inheritance?
He does not retain his anger forever,
because he delights in steadfast love.
19 He will again have compassion on us;
he will tread our iniquities underfoot.
You will cast all our sins
into the depths of the sea.
20 You will show faithfulness to Jacob
and steadfast love to Abraham,
as you have sworn to our fathers
from the days of old.
