Theophylact of Ohrid, on Jas 5:4

“Behold the hire of the labourers, who have reaped down your fields, which by fraud has been kept back by you, crieth: and the cry of them hath entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth.”

“This is an exposure and shaming of the Jewish leaders, who tended the poor and glutted themselves with honors from all, but were themselves being prepared for slaughter at the hands of the Roman authorities, especially for having condemned the only Righteous One — the Lord — and killed Him when He did not resist, did not cry out.”
